Life in the Little Lane: Edith Ann on Riddles

I love riddles.
I love to read them.
I love to think them up
and then think them out.
Here is one I just thought up
and cannot figure out:
How come the real riddles in life
do not ever get into the riddle book?

What’s your favorite riddle?

Q) Why do you use 239 beans in bean salad? A) Because one more bean would be too farty! I want to buy this book of riddles for my little boy with autism. I do a very good impression of Edith Ann! Off topic sorry! Out of all the millionaires on the wow website I have to say you are the only one of them that I can relate to. I will be sure to read all of YOUR posts!

Mugsy~ When I was mere blight in Sister Mary Raphael’s eye, the answer to that one was: a nun in a blender.

That is related to an old one I heard: What is red and green and goes ‘round and ‘round real fast. A frog in a blender.
