I figured enough about sports for today, so let's see who can figure these 2 little brain teasers out.
Riddle #1
A man is sitting in a pub feeling rather poor. He sees the man next to him pull a wad of £50 notes out of his wallet. He turns to the rich man and says to him, "I have an amazing talent: I know almost every song that has ever existed." The rich man laughs.The poor man says, "I am willing to bet you all the money you have in your wallet that I can sing a genuine song with a lady's name of your choice in it." The rich man laughs again and says, "Ok how about my daughters name, Joanna Armstrong-Miller." The rich man goes home poor. The poor man goes home rich. What song did he sing?
Riddle #2
Once upon a time there was a dad and 3 kids. When the kids were adults, the dad was old and Death came to take the dad. The first son, who became a lawyer, begged Death to let the dad live a few more years. Death agreed. When Death came back, the second son, who became a doctor begged Death to let his father live a few more days. Death agreed. When Death came back the third son, who became a priest begged Death to let the dad live till that candle wick burned out and he pointed to a candle. Death agreed. The Third son knew Death wouldn't come back and he didn't. Why not?
Answers will be tomorrow in the comments section.
Edit: The answers are in the comments section now. Congrats to Shane for getting the answer to the first riddle correct.
2 comments:
The first one: he sang "Happy Birthday to You." Right?
The second one: The 3rd son is an eternal flame salesman. Right?
Shane, you are correct on the first one! "Happy Birthday" is the answer as you can put anyone's name in it.
The second one the answer is that Death could not come back until the wick burned out, not when the candle burned out. So if you put out the candle and never light it again, the wick would never burn out.
