Riddles 3 June 28, 2007 by admin Capricious Give me an x, I’ll stand to face you. Give me a cross, I’ll turn my back on you. What am I? The Number 9 (9 multipled by 9 = 81, 9 plus 9=18). Medieval I have a heart that never beats, I have a home but I never sleep. I can take a mans house and build anothers, And I love to play games with my many brothers. I am a king among fools. Who am I? The King of Hearts in a deck of cards. Ouch! With pointed fangs it sits in wait, With piercing force its doles out fate, Over bloodless victims proclaiming its might, Eternally joining in a single bite. What am I? I’m a Stapler. You enjoy that? A man goes out drinking every night, returning to his home in the wee hours of every morning. No matter how much he drinks, he never gets a hangover. This drink is very well known, but is rarely consumed, served warm and taken straight from its source. The man is a sucker for a free drink, especially since he can’t live without it. What is his favorite drink? Blood, he’s a vampire! Here’s a Pointer When I point up it’s bright, but when I point down it’s dark. What am I? A Light Switch. Far Off Color What is red and blue, and purple and green? No one can reach it, not even the queen? A Rainbow. Rival to the Riddle I can be cracked, I can be made. I can be told, I can be played. What am I? A Joke! Car Collisions Four cars come to a four way stop, all coming from a different direction. They can’t decide who got there first, so they all go forward at the same time. They do not crash into each other, but all four cars go. How is this possible? They all made right-hand turns. Mean King A king decided to let a prisoner try to escape the prison with his life. The king placed 2 marbles in a jar that was glued to a table. One of the marbles was supposed to be black, and one was supposed to be blue. If the prisoner could pick the blue marble, he would escape the prison with his life. If he picked the black marble, he would be executed. However, the king was very mean, and he wickedly placed 2 black marbles in the jars and no blue marbles. The prisoner witnessed the king only putting 2 black marbles in the jars. If the jar was not see-through and the jar was glued to the table and that the prisoner was mute so he could not say anything, how did he escape with his life? The prisoner grabbed one of the marbles from the jar and concealed it in his hand. He then swallowed it, and picked up the other marble and showed everyone. The marble was black, and since the other marble was swallowed, it was assumed to be the blue one. So the mean king had to set him free. Melon Math Farmer Brown came to town with some watermelons. He sold half of them plus half a melon, and found that he had one whole melon left. How many melons did he take to town? Easy, three melons! Just for Girls I cover what’s real, hide what is true, but sometimes bring out the courage in you. What am I? Makeup I Can Move!! I have two arms, but fingers none. I have two feet, but cannot run. I carry well, but I have found I carry best with my feet OFF the ground. What am I? A Wheelbarrow. Well, There’s Some Progress Three robbers robbed a store. Once they came out they were totally changed, but they still continued robbing. Why? They robbed a clothing store; they changed clothes, not their ways. All the Dirty Places I have a big mouth and I am also quite loud! I am NOT a gossip but I do get involved with everyone’s dirty business. Can you name me? Vacuum Cleaner No Use, No Need Who makes it, has no need of it. Who buys it, has no use for it. Who uses it can neither see nor feel it. A Coffin Stinks Either Way It is said among my people that some things are improved by death. Tell me, what stinks while living, but in death, smells good? A Pig. Ohh I Get It! What goes through the door without pinching itself? What sits on the stove without burning itself? What sits on the table and is not ashamed? The Sun. Faster Work, Longer Time What work is it that the faster you work, the longer it is before you’re done, and the slower you work, the sooner you’re finished? Roasting meat on a spit. Answer’s Right in Front of You I know a word of letters three. Add two, and fewer there will be. The word “Few”. A Naughty Trio I give you a group of three. One is sitting down, and will never get up. The second eats as much as is given to him, yet is always hungry. The third goes away and never returns. Stove, fire, and smoke.
