"name three things to do in tulsa" tell three things which you can do while being in Tulsa Explanation: I think "name three things to do in tulsa" means that they should tell three things which one can do while being in Tulsa. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day3 hrs (2008-03-14 12:19:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- From a cultural point of view: If they are able to name 3 things they can do in Tulsa, it means that they are acquainted with the culture and traditions of this place. So they knew the most popular places to go sight-seeing, the most famous monuments, the most important buildings, in general - the cultural life. |

"name three things to do in tulsa" pass the time desperately trying to think of three things worth doing in Tulsa Explanation: The implication being that Tulsa is such a boring city that it would take a long time (if ever) to think of 3 things you could do there (like sleep, get drunk, take the next flight out). This is in the same genre as the party game "Name 5 Famous Belgians" (again, on the grounds that it's difficult to think of 5 famous Belgians - Belgium being a very boring little country). |
