RiddlesThree men went out for a drive one day two black men and one white man and the two black men ate the white man. What number was the car?
281 What is the hardest thing to do in the world?
To put the tide out with a fork.I went and I did not know where. I got and I did not know what, and I when I came back all knew!
BaptizedWhy is butter so much like a soldier?
Because it runs before fire.If a man had fifty holes in his trousers, what time would it be?
Time to get a new one.As red as blood and blood it is not, as green as grass but grass it is not, as black as ink but ink it is not?
A blackberry.What turns and we cannot see it?
