GUEST,adavis@truman.edu BS: Does anybody know good riddles? (87* d) RE: Does anybody know good riddles? 26 Sep 02


Three kinds of riddles: the modern anglo-american tend to be jokes, and there are also brain-teasers or puzzles. In most societies, it's a kind of wisdom literature -- a proverb put into puzzle-form. Two interesting ones from Venda (African) tribal collection by Ian Blackling:

Q: What eats with its asshole and shits death at its mouth?

A: The white man's gun (breech-loader)

Q: We get rid of it, but the white man wraps it in precious silk and saves it.

A: Snot.
