Riddle me this...

[skipthisone]

I have this thing for Riddles...

So here are the rules...no more than 6 lines for each...the next person guesses what it is and then gives another riddle

Here is a sample:

When it drips im your umbrella
When you get hot i roll on
When she spreads my tip guides you
When the searchers go i stop them

What am I??? ----A condom....

Ok here is the first one, i hope some of you like.

Towards morning they lay flat
Around noon they start their training
In the afternoon they are productive
But by the night they put their head down

What are they...good luck

Could they be... breasts in a woman's life?

Reminds me of the so-called "Riddle of the Sphinx"


Let's see now...
"I never was, am always to be,
No one ever saw me, nor ever will
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball."

interesting thought, but not the answer i was thinking of...

The Future

What does man
Love more than life, hate more than death or mortel strife
The rich man spends, the spendthrift saves,
And all men carry to their graves?

[dannyk]

[Booger]

a penny

Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance. So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room. A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5. He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in. The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends. He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day! Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent. Where did the other dollar go????

[dannyk]

hmm... here goes....
they paid $25 for the room, $1 each change, and $2 for the bellhop, giving $30. The $27 quoted ( 3 by $9 ) was not for the room, but for room plus bellhop.

on to simpler times... :p
