You are correct. If your tongue is protruding and your lips are closed around it you can breathe through your nose.
Oh ...Thats the One!
I amazed some co-workers in the break-room when the guy on the radio asked for a word that used all the regular vowels in order. I forget what his answer was, but it wasn’t the word I came up with. I said, “facetious.”
bookkeeper.
don’t even have to do that. stick out your tongue keep your mouth open, then close your throat.
I can’t breath through my nose with my throat open.
Chuck Norris does not do pushups. He pushes the earth down.
Yea me too and I, yes me got the others correct, More riddles than factoids INO
The answer is: all of them.
Brain teasers for geezers:
1) Where did you leave your car keys?
2) What is your phone number?
3) Name the prescriptions you’re taking.
4) What was the name of your bank before the last takeover?
5) There was a political party that used to seek to lower taxes. Do you remember what they were called?
6) Where did you leave your medical bracelet?
By googling the riddle, I see some nearly correct answers, taking mine as correct, of course:
“One of its legs are both the same.”
I defend this as the correct answer because of the pivot around “legs” . We have “One of its legs ...” and “... legs are both the same” as grammatically intact phrases.
This much of the riddle is rational!
