If a train station is where the train stops and a bus station is where the bus stops, what is a work station?

My cubicle - Where the work stops!

If you are standing behind your friend and your friend is standing behind you - who is standing behind whom?

No one

Hey Phyllis: What was the answer?

Beetle: I am surprised you have not stopped by to answer this riddle.

I tried, but sure it is not right

Oh! Sorry I let this slip by. The answer is they are standing behind each other because they are "back to back".

Thanks, Angela. Got a good one?

Angela,

I was looking for the parenthesis in the equation...

One cannot put parenthesis around people. To do so would not enable them to grow.

Come on Phyllis. I need a challenge today. Give me a tough one please!!

A little restriction to prevent bad actions.

Nicely said, Beetle.

Ok, Monica - I will try to find a tough one for you. B back soon.

You are walking through a field, and you find something to eat. It doesn't have bones, and it doesn't have meat. You pick it up and put it into your pocket. You take it home and put it on a shelf, but 3 day's later it walks away. What is it?

It is very difficult to stump Beetle. I am anxious to see if Monica knows it.

Is this a riddle? The only thing that came to mind was leash, house arrest ankle bracelet (sorry that's how my crazy mind works) also laws, 10 commandments, rules.

"If men will not be governed by the Ten Commandments, they shall be governed by the ten thousand commandments" G.K. Chesterton

Not sure if this is what the riddle was if it was a riddle.

Damn you Phyllis! I love it. Please do not post answer for a while. I'm thinking and no I am not cheating by looking it up online. That would be so pointless!!!

I am waiting. I trust you to not go cheating by looking it up.

Parens will keep one from doing things they should not do. It is like a hug, or a gentle reminder.

Is it an egg of some sort? If not do not give me hints.

Well...it does have a shell. And, if you boiled it, it could never walk away.

Boiled Eggs, AGAIN!!!! Not another round of "Who has the best use of Easter Eggs?"

<< Monica, I'm glad I left my comments to only using the word restriction for you tangented toward leash & house arrest bracelets. Glad Phyllis threww in the hugs comment - I almost worded my response about parenthesis around people as... " a little bondage to prevent bad actions " Now where would everyone's minds be??? >>

Let me toss in a riddle:

I have many feathers to help me fly. I have a body and head, but I'm not alive. It is your strength which determines how far I go. You can hold me in your hand, but I'm never thrown. What am I?

For sure, most people don't want to know what goes on in the darker side of MY brain! Most people can't even imagine such amazing madness! I use it for good only

Bow and arrow hunter riddle is a good one.

Couldn't tell whether you were saying that was or wasn't the answer so I looked it up. Nice to know I actually figured it out from the start.

BTW, I was thinking of a snake egg not a chicken egg or rabbit but snakes don't walk so was pondering the whole chicken thing. Living in the dessert does change your way of thinking.

I can be created by humans, But they cannot control me. I suck on wood, paper and flesh alike. I can be more of a hindrance than help at times. To my creators, I seem to be everywhere at once. What am I?

I'd have to enter into my earlier life stages to present the answer to this one...

Why was I thinking it was fire? What a friggin weirdo! Give me another one Bettle. I probably won't answer today but will try tomorrow. My brain is done for the day. Thank you ladies!!

Ut Oh... This one has parenthesis in it... No reading into the question, it's plainly there...

There are 20 people in an empty, square room. Each person has full sight of the entire room and everyone in it without turning his head or body, or moving in any way (other than the eyes). Where can you place an apple so that all but one person can see it?

Place an apple on one person's head.

What is it that is deaf, dumb and blind and always tells the truth?

Tommy & he plays pinball - Let me reflect on this one...

I was going to say a scale. But I beat mine into submission. It didn't come out of a box that way, he-he

You are driving a semi (truck) and pulling a long trailer that is completely enclosed. Inside the trailer is a buzzard that weighs 40 pounds, it is sitting on the floor. The trailer is 20 feet long, 10 feet high, and 8 feet wide, it weighs 1000 pounds. So, you are hauling 1040 pounds.

How much will your haul weigh if the buzzard begins to fly inside the trailer?

[quote=Phyllis-Folk/Myth]If a train station is where the train stops and a bus station is where the bus stops, what is a work station? [/quote] As i site at my work station reading blogs and forums I'm thinking this is definitely the place where work stops.

Because if the buzzard were flying his weight would no longer be a factor. But that just seems to obvious. What is the answer?

Well I say it would be 1040 - because even though the buzzard is in the air it has to flap its wings to stay up there. So, every time it moves its wings it is displacing the air with the force of its weight. Now I am really pondering about that.

If a white chicken lays a white egg and a brown chicken lays a brown egg why doesn't a black chicken lay a black egg? a little joke here; This upper midwest farmer went to the drug store and told the pharmacist," I have a sick cow and a sick wife so I need medicine for both but for goodness sake don't get them confused because I don't want anything to happen to my cow!!! One last laugh here; The sign in front of the cafe said,"Eat here and diet home.

I love it! Those are good ones for a laugh, Dave. We all need laughter in life.

I like things that make me ponder. Like:

When sign makers go on strike, is there anything written on their signs?

I was sitting at a concert last Friday. Brewer and Shipley, 70's rock stars were playing. The heat index was over 100 degrees, and I wore my most comfortable cotton tie dye shirt. I looked at our friends and said, " I'm not making a political statement with this shirt; I wore it because it's cool."

Roger smiled and said, "No, it was cool 40 years ago!" He cracked me up!

Here's one courtesy of my teenage son..."What does a camel and a plum have in common?"

They're both purple...except for the camel! lolol

Hmmmm....when I refer to parens, I almost always mean "HUGS". I often put (( )) in notes to my kids.

A man goes out drinking every night, returning to his home in the wee hours of every morning. No matter how much he drinks, he never gets a hangover. This drink is very well known, but is rarely consumed, served warm and taken straight from its source. The man is a sucker for a free drink, especially since he can't live without it. What is his favorite drink?

I'll BITE on this one & let someone else post the answer.

Cute! Very astute of you.

Does anyone else know the answer to the riddle?

How about this one:

Four cars come to a four way stop, all coming from a different direction. They can't decide who got there first, so they all go forward at the same time. They do not crash into each other, but all four cars go. How is this possible?

each of these has been up for a while. How about solutions?

I can be created by humans, But they cannot control me. I suck on wood, paper and flesh alike. I can be more of a hindrance than help at times. To my creators, I seem to be everywhere at once. What am I?

made all three obvious via subtle hints...

In the movie 'Tommy' (The Who rock opera), Tommy found himself by staring into the mirror (deaf, dumb & blind?). He was a pinball wizard & I mentioned I needed to reflect on the answer.

A: A Baby. I mentioned that I would have to enter my earlier life stages to answer

& Yes, I BIT on that one...

The 4-way: I thinking I'm heading in the RIGHT direction, but want to see if anyone else can solve.

Ahh! Cannot fool you at all, Beetle. I remember all your hints and you are always "Right On!"

Hmmm...on the intersection puzzle, I am sure you are taking the RIGHT direction.

What is red and blue, and purple and green? No one can reach it, not even the queen?

I think I'll TURN RIGHT to this one...

??? A flag that can now be flown over a US Aircraft Carrier? Ethics & politics aside...

I would take a BOW, if it would just stop RAINing around here. Gotta lawn to mow & maybe side track to find a POT O'GOLD.

Hmmmm... OK, try this one:

A king decided to let a prisoner try to escape the prison with his life. The king placed 2 marbles in a jar that was glued to a table. One of the marbles was supposed to be black, and one was supposed to be blue. If the prisoner could pick the blue marble, he would escape the prison with his life. If he picked the black marble, he would be executed. However, the king was very mean, and he wickedly placed 2 black marbles in the jars and no blue marbles. The prisoner witnessed the king only putting 2 black marbles in the jars. If the jar was not see-through and the jar was glued to the table and that the prisoner was mute so he could not say anything, how did he escape with his life?

This one is a hard one to SWALLOW. But I'm sure there is another logical solution.

Good One, Phyllis

Yeah - he swallowed one...knowing the king could not complain or everyone would know that both marbles were black.


Farmer Brown came to town with some watermelons. He sold half of them plus half a melon, and found that he had one whole melon left. How many melons did he take to town?

Was the town THREE miles away from his farm?

Good grief! You must be psychic. Yes, it was three.

The 22nd and 24th presidents of the United States of America had the same parents, but were not brothers.
How can this be possible?

Same president not consecutive terms, Grover Cleveland.

Because they were the same Presidents. Not 2 different people.

To my knowledge, the 22nd and 24th president was the same person - Grover Cleveland. He is just the only president to have served two NON-CONSECUTIVE terms.

The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the surrogate father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife and said, &quot;I'm off. The man should be here soon&quot; Half an hour later, just by chance a door-to-door baby photographer rang the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. &quot;Good morning, madam. I've come to....&quot; &quot;Oh, no need to explain. I've been expecting you,&quot; Mrs. Smith cut in. &quot;Really?&quot; the photographer asked. &quot;Well, good. I've made a speciality of babies&quot; &quot;That's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat&quot; After a moment, she asked, blushing, &quot;Well, where do we start?&quot; &quot;Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch and perhaps a couple on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor is fun too; you can really spread out!&quot; &quot;Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work for Harry and me&quot; &quot;Well, madam, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But, if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven different angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results&quot; &quot;My, that's a lot of.....&quot; gasped Mrs. Smith. &quot;Madam, in my line of work, a man must take his time. I'd love to be in and out in five minutes, but you'd be disappointed with that, I'm sure&quot; &quot;Don't I know it,&quot; Mrs. Smith said quietly. The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures. &quot;This was done on the top of a bus in downtown London&quot; &quot;Oh my God!&quot; Mrs. Smith exclaimed, tugging at her handkerchief. &quot;And these twins turned out exceptionally well, when you consider their mother was so difficult to work with&quot; &quot;She was difficult?&quot; asked Mrs. Smith. &quot;Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to Hyde Park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep, pushing to get a good look&quot; &quot;Four and five deep?&quot; asked Mrs. Smith, eyes widened in amazement. &quot;Yes,&quot; the photographer said, &quot;And for more than three hours too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling. I could hardly concentrate. Then darkness approached and I began to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just packed it all in.&quot; Mrs. Smith leaned forward. &quot;You mean squirrels actually chewed on your, um......equipment?&quot; &quot;That's right. Well, madam, if you're ready, I'll set up my tripod so we can get to work.&quot; &quot;Tripod?????&quot; &quot;Oh yes, I have to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big for me to hold for very long. Madam? Madam? ....... Good Lord, she's fainted!!&quot;

Little Johnny catches his parents going at it. He yells in, &quot;Hey, Pop! What are you doin'?&quot; His father says, &quot;Son, I'm filling your mother's tank.&quot; Johnny says, &quot;Oh, yeah? Well, you better get a model that gets better mileage. The postman filled her this morning.&quot;

A guy steps into an elevator and there's just one attractive woman in it. He turns around to push the button for his floor and his elbow bumps right into her breast. He says, &quot;Oh, I'm so sorry. If your heart is as soft as your breast, I hope you'll be able to forgive me.&quot; She looks at him a few seconds and says, &quot;That's all right. If your [censored] is as hard as your elbow, I'm in room 204.&quot;
