Riddle | Answer | Notes | |
---|---|---|---|
1 | There are 7 birds in a tree. A hunter shoots 1 bird down. How many birds are left in the tree? | None, because the rest of them got scared and flew away. |
|
2 | A plane crashes directly on the US and Canada. Where do they bury the survivors? | They don't bury survivors. |
|
3 | Why did the ice cream truck break down? | Because it had a bad day. |
|
4 | What walks on 4 legs in the morning, 2 in the afternoon, and 3 at night? | Man. |
|
5 | A father and son are in a car accident. The father dies. The son is brought into the hospital. The doctors looks down at the son and says I can't operate on this boy, he is my son. How is that possible? | The doctor was the mother. |
|
6 | A man rides into a town on Tuesday, stays for 2 days, rides out on Friday. How is that possible? | The horse's name was Friday. |
|
7 | "Hey pop, can I have some money?" asked Dana, "the Electric Ear Splitters are giving a concert here in town next week and I really want to hear it." His father put town the television listings, turned off the TV, and firmly declined. "But that's my favorite group," protested Dana. "I wanna buy tickets real fast so I can hear them perform as soon as possible." "If that's what's most important to you," replied the father, "then you won't need any tickets." Explain. | The father had noticed the planned live concert and noticed it was also to be on television. Microphones would be a few feet from the performers and would capture the sound for television transmission | |
8 | A man called the woman he loves and she cursed at him and hung up angrily. Why was he happy? | She was married to another man. And he suggested the she pretend he was an obnoxious telephone salesman if he called while her husband might overhear. His ruse apparently worked and he was pleased. | |
9 | A man locked his son out of the house. The son thanked him. Explain | The son, in his late teens, was spoiled and idle. The father correctly inferred that evicting him and forcing him to earn his own way would benefit him, however unpleasant it would be at first. When the son found a job and had worked at it for a while, he understood how his father's actions had made his life more respectable and constructive, therefore he thanked his father. | |
10 | There's a cabin in the middle of the woods. Everyone in it is dead. They were not murdered but they did not die of natural causes or an act of god. How did they die? | It was the cabin of an airplane |
