I think you got it Drinky!

**TWTCommish** · Mar 3, 2001 19:03

Yes, it's a wheelbarrow - an airplane would have been a decent answer as well.

**Drinky** · Mar 3, 2001 19:29

Am I allowed to marry my widow's sister?

**Kakki** · Mar 3, 2001 19:37

Uh....nooooo

You are dead.

Aren't you?

**Drinky** · Mar 3, 2001 20:00

Correct, nice easy one

**KeithMcL** · Mar 3, 2001 21:50

Ok. I have one for you.

A man lives on the 10th floor of an apartment building. He gets up in the morning and takes the elevator to the ground floor and goes off to work.

When he gets home he takes the elevator to the 6th floor and takes the stairs the rest of the way.

Why?

P.S No the elevator is not broken.

**TWTCommish** · Mar 3, 2001 22:24

I've heard that one - so I'll refrain from answering this one.

It's kinda funny.

**Silverado4x4** · Mar 3, 2001 23:03

He's not tall enough to reach the other buttons

**Plebius** · Mar 3, 2001 23:17

He has a phobia of pressing any button with a number higher than 6.

I think silverrado is right..

why did you go keith...it wasn't your turn was it

**Drinky** · Mar 4, 2001 14:23

I've had too many go's anyway

also i'm glad he did since I couldn't think of onother one.

**Silverado4x4** · Mar 4, 2001 15:21

So Keith, what's the answer?

**jrap** · Mar 4, 2001 16:52

I also agree that he is too short.

**Silverado4x4** · Mar 4, 2001 21:24

Okay, since everyone agrees I got that one, and since he hasn't replied, I will go on ahead and post a riddle.

"Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is."

**Plebius** · Mar 4, 2001 23:45

I know the answer and I also know that some people don't use it every day...

**webwizard** · Mar 5, 2001 00:04

Yea, thats right. I was just reading a answer to this riddle at: http://www.greece.k12.ny.us/taylor/topics/grypuzzle.htm

Read that page, it makes since. I was sent the 'incorrect version' a while back and remember not being able to figure it out...now I get it. Your turn...

PS, this is a awesome thread.

**webwizard** · Mar 5, 2001 00:38

Cool

My turn:

I'm not really more than holes tied to more holes; I'm as strong as steel, though not as stiff as a pole. What am I?

**TWTCommish** · Mar 5, 2001 00:44

I just saw that one yesterday, so once again I will refrain from answering.

**MattR** · Mar 5, 2001 00:46

I've never heard of it before (that I can recall) but it seems pretty easy. A chain?

Is it rebar?

**webwizard** · Mar 5, 2001 00:54

Nope

Yeah, close enough. The official answer is a metal chain.

I knew I should have posted a harder one!

Congrats MattR

Your Turn

**MattR** · Mar 5, 2001 01:08

Ok one I found on the internet (don't search or you'll find it pretty easily):

What's black when you get it,
Red when you use it,
And white when you're all through with it?

Michael Jackson?
