Riddle me this

Does anyone have any good riddles, out there?

I’ll start.

There are three green glass doors. There are things that are inside the three green glass doors. There are things that are not. You have to figure out what’s inside it, but you can’t say the reasoning behind this, should you get it. Instead, give your own examples.

So yeah.
There are eyeballs, but no eyes.
Feet, but no toes.
No hands, no arms, no legs, but there are bellies galore.
People can call, but they can’t say anything.
That said, there are no people, no girls or boys, but plenty of fellas.
There are bottles, but there’s no liquid, and you can be silly, but not stupid, nor can you be smart.

What else is in there, and what else is not?

Anyhoo, that’s mine. Anyone else?
bamf

Seen it before, but…

There are kittens, but no cats.

Puppies, but no dogs.

You can’t be smart, but you could be intelligent or witty.

No ninjas or pirates, but lots of assassins and buccaneers.

Lots of villains without heroes. It’s not the Apocalypse, or Ragnarock, but it is Doomsday!

There are cheeses, but no brie, though there is a nice cheddar.

There are sheep, but no ewe.

There’s some beef, but no cow meat.

There are hammers, but no nails.

There are eggplant and carrots but not cucumbers.

There are apples but not oranges.

There are cigarettes, but no cigars.

Upon review, I think a riddle may require people who haven’t figured it out to achieve maximum effect.

There are weeks but no days.

next:
What is one thing that all wise men, regardless of their religion or politics, agree is between heaven and earth?

“and”?

Mine:

What do rich men need that poor men already have?

Nothing

An old fashioned one …

White bird featherless,
flew from paradise,
lit on the castle wall.

Along came lord landless,
took it up handless,
rode away horseless
to the king’s wide hall.

I never did find a definitive answer to this one, but my guess is snow and the wind.

That’s the right answer :slight_smile: … though you could have used a spoiler box.

That’s the problem with riddles and web boards I suppose.

What can go up a chimney down but not down a chimney up?

umbrella

Here’s one I always liked:

 A man lives on the 45th floor of an apartment building. On rainy days, he takes the elevator to and from his apartment, but on sunny days, he will take the elevator from his apartment to the lobby but walks up the 45 flights of stairs when he returns home. Why doesn't he just take the elevator all the time?


He’s a dwarf. On rainy days he takes his umbrella and uses it to punch the button for the 45th floor. On sunny days, the button for the lobby is low enough so he can push it by hand, but the 45th floor button is too high for him to reach, so he has to walk.

umbrella…again

Damn you Euty beat me to it.

A man walks into the head office of a leading chemical, slams a container down on the desk and proclaims, “Here is the world’s first universal solvent!”

The president calls security and has him escorted out for wasted their time. How did they know?

If it were truly universal it would have eaten through the container

I discuss this one here.
