You are driving in a car at a constant speed. On your left side is a
valley and on your right side is a fire engine traveling at the same
speed as you. In front of you is a galloping pig which is the same size
as your car and you cannot overtake it. Behind you is a helicopter
flying at ground level. Both the giant pig and the helicopter are also
traveling at the same speed as you. What must you do to safely get out
of this highly dangerous situation?
Stop.
ready
and then pee your heart out! :P
And who owns the pig, that can't take care of 1 critter smaller than a dog???????????? sheeeeeeesh!
Damn pig farmers!
ready
You could try waking up. That should get you out of it.
Nope.... but close. Keep trying.
Tell the Wal-Mart greeter to unplug the merry-go-round. :angel:
Janet, you are correct. I got it too! ;)
Way to go, girls... correctomondo. Here's another:
"When set loose, I fly away. Never so cursed, as when I go astray. What am I?"
OK, did I miss it? By the way, is that merry go round going clockwise or counterclockwise? ;)
It has to go counter clockwise, doesn't it? I can't remember ever seeing one that didn't.
For what it's worth, Wikipedia says that most merry-go-rounds (carousels) in the UK and Europe go clockwise, while most in North America go counter-clockwise. No mention of those in Asia or the entire Southern Hemisphere.

Answer
A FART
Wilma,I've ridden both. Go back and reread the riddle.You can figure it out.
Next one.... gossip?
Gossip ???? No. DG got it right. :laugh:
Answer: Middle English: ferten, farten; akin to Old High German ferzan: to break wind, Old Norse: freta; Greek perdesthai & Sanskrit pardate: he breaks wind; English: fart
(Rules: No cheating :o and stay off the internet for the answer... :P :-\ :(
....use the ol' noggin ;D ) :
Okay... here is one that is faily simple... more so than it looks like.
"This is a most unusual paragraph - and so is its companion paragraph that follows. This writing may annoy you until you find out why it is so unusual, for you won't find a solution instantly. But don't go into a tailspin about it, for it isn't that difficult. But you will admit that it is most unusual. This writing looks so ordinary that you might think that nothing is worng with it. And, in fact, nothing is wrong with it. But it is unusual, and you must ask why.
If you study and think about it, you may find out why, but you must do it without any coaching of any kind. No doubt if you work at it for long, it will dawn on you...who knows? So start to study it now, and try your skill at finding out what is so unusual about this writing. If you can do it in half an hour, you may claim an approach to wisdom, but if you can't do it in half an hour...find our solution."
Well, one thing that is wrong with it is the spelling of wrong in the 5th sentence.
The answers aren't there. So I don't know what DG said. OK, I just read the others. and I can find no letter e. I still haven't seen any of the answers that others wrote, it's just a line.
Answer: The letter "e" is not used once. This is unusual because "e" is the most common letter in the English alphabet.
Very good, Wilma. Nice try but.... no cigar. :laugh:
Hmmmm.... :o I wonder how Diane got the answer so fast? Hmmmm....? :laugh:
Try This:
"Walk over the living, they don't even mumble; walk over the dead, they mutter and grumble. What am I?"
Diane get your reading glasses on, the question and answer are both there, just small.
I do have my reading glasses on and all I see are a few tiny dots in a line and I did not cheat on that e one >:(
Now about that last one. It's something you walk on both dead and alive?...animal, vegetable or mineral? Can't be an animal, maybe plants?
How about leaves or grass?
Good one Wilma...I'll bet that's it.
Okay, Wilma... This time you get the Cigar Answer: Leaves. :laugh:
Now Y'all, try this one: (heh, heh, heh... hee hee)
OR
Both UTubes are about the same thing.[/font][/size][/b]
Diane gets half the cigar. If she hadn't mentioned vegetable, I wouldn't have thought of it.
Quiet simple?
