riddle me this

Katy stuttered “ I love you and and and and and daddy too!”.

Count the number of 'F’s in the following text.
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-

EXPERIENCE OF YEARS

Walk on the living, they don’t even mumble.
Walk on the dead, they mutter and grumble.

**
A dead bird?

6?

Supposing, supposing three camels were dozing, how many camels would there be?

In a normal room there are some cats:

There’s a cat in each corner
A cat across from each cat
A cat to the left of each cat
A cat to the right of each cat
And a cat sitting on each cats tail
How many cats in all?

Leaves?

eirroc

The camels don’t exist, so there are zero.

**
A flea.

**
4?
Phobia Yes :slight_smile:

Correct eirroc you win a kewpie doll!

In case anyone is wondering the cats are sitting on their own tails.

Varations of this, but:

A man is painting a sign for his pub, the “Dog and Ball”. After doing the lettering, he realises there is not enough space between “Dog” and “And” and “And” and “Whistle”.


Now get “had” eight times in a row. Multiple sentences allowed :wink:

When you wrote that, are you sure you left enough space between ‘“Dog”’ and ‘and’, and ‘and’ and ‘“And”’, and ‘“And”’ and ‘and’, and ‘and’ and ‘“And”’, and ‘“And”’ and ‘and’, and ‘and’ and ‘“Whistle”’?

And so on…

This is an oldie:

The teacher just liked John’s essay better than James’ due to his (John’s) exceptional writing skills. Here’s just one example:

John, where James had “had”, had “had had”. “Had had” had a better effect on the teacher. John got an “A”. James got a “B”.


Now here’s another riddle:

A man is walking his dog. On his way he goes through some private gardens—but that’s OK. He knows the owner. They are good friends. In the garden he passes three greenhouses but does not enter them. In front of one of the greenhouses is a wheelbarrow–but it is empty and the man doesn’t even touch it–much less steal anything from it.

However, when the man stops just on the other side of the gardens he is met by a policeman and sent to prison. There were no “No Trespassing” signs in the gardens, and the man did not curb his dog there.

What did the man do that got him sent to the Big House?

Biotop

The dog was not leashed. The police arrested him when they were now on public property, without the dog leashed.

True, the dog wasn’t leashed. But this dog is not the…er…type to run away from its owner.

Indeed, I think the guy would have been sent to the pokey if he’d just come along by himself, hat in hand.

If you still can’t get it, this riddle has an ever-so-slight connection to the other one I posted earlier in the thread.

Biotop

Ok, the guy was nude and indecent in public.
Depending on the guy the dog might have a collar and leash then.

Was a dead bird right on the other puzzle?

What weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of gravel?

Hermes: Neither, a pound is a pound. Too easy.

Men and boys don’t need it
Girls and ladies do
But my uncle has it, while my aunt doesn’t
What is it?

PLEASE somebody tell me what the third -GRY word is! Many thanks!

The letter “L”.
And Phobia:

Nudity: wrong
Dead Bird: wrong

The hints are right there in the riddles…
