Now for some funny riddles:

1. Take away my first letter, and I still sound the same. Take away my last letter, I still sound the same. Even take away my letter in the middle, I will still sound the same. I am a five letter word. What am I? - AAYYY!

2. What is as light as a feather, but even the world’s strongest man couldn’t hold it for more than a minute? A relevant thought.

3. What 5- letter word becomes shorter when you add two letters to it? Short (hey, I got one!)

4. There are 3 switches downstairs. Each corresponds to one of the three light bulbs in the attic. You can turn the switches on and off and leave them in any position. How would you identify which switch corresponds to which light bulb if you are only allowed one trip upstairs? Leave one off, turn one on, turn one on for 30 seconds, then turn it off. The one that is on is obvious. Of the two that remain, one will be cold, the other warm.

5. I am very heavy but, backwards I’m not. What am I? Ton

6. A cowboy rides into town on Friday; he stays two days and leaves on Saturday. How can this be? Friday is the name of his horse.

12. Try to re-arrange the letters of NEW DOOR to make one word. O-N-E W-O-R-D

13. A basket contains 5 apples. How can you divide the apples among 5 kids so that each child has an apple and one apple stays in the basket? One kid hands out one apple each to the four kids, and keeps his own in the basket.

I’m impressed.
