Ok, I've got one...


A man lives in the penthouse (floor 30) of a tall building. In the mornings, when he goes to work, he takes the lift to the ground floor. But, when he comes home in the evenings, he can only take the lift up to the 15th floor before he has to get out and use the stairs to reach his penthouse, except for on rainy days where he can go the whole way up.
Why?
Oh, you're angry! Click your pen.

He's a dwarf. On rainy days he has an umbrella so he can press the top bottons with it :)

I never would have known...that seems realistic, I think that is it.

I have one: How far can you walk into a forest?
Gotta a find a woman be good to me,
Who won't hide my liquor, try to serve me tea.

The answer to my riddle was that he was a dwarf.

Hmmm, not sure about the forest one... I know you can't walk in a straight line in a forest, is that some how related?

Heres a riddle (It only works if I give you the answers as I go along I'm afraid, so it won't interupt EBM's forest riddle)

How does an elephant get into the fride?

* it opens the door, gets in then closes the door.

How does a giraffe get into the fridge?

* it opens the door, takes out the elephant, gets in then closes the door.

An animal kingdom meeting is hosted by the Lion King, who is the only animal that doesn't attend?

* the giraffe, it's still stuck in the fridge.

Two tourists are walking, and they reach a river. There is a sign that says "DO NOT SWIM, WATCH OUT FOR CROCODILES" but there is no boat, bridge, or anyway to make one. How do they get across?

* they swim, the crocodiles are all at the animal kingdom meeting.

Yes, you where right, you can walk halfway or to the middle, and when you do you will be walking out again!

Okay, here is a pop quiz for everyone!

1. How many four cent post cards are there in a dozen?
2. How much is penny candy?
3. How much dirt is there in a hole that is three feet wide, four feet long, and two feet deep?
4. There was a blind beggar who had a brother, but this brother had no brothers. What was the relationship between the two?
5. "How much will one cost?" asks a customer. The clerk replies, "Twenty cents". How much will twelve cost?" The reply, "Forty cents." "I'll take 912." What is the customer buying?
6. Rearrange the letters of NEW DOOR to make one word.
7. If six glasses are arranged in a straight line and the first three are full of water adn the last three are empty, what is the fewest number of glasses that can be moved so that the glasses alternate: empty, full, empty...?
8. What mathematical symbol can be place between 2 and 3 so that the resulting expression is a number between 2 and 3?

Okay, that is it, I will be back with more after you answer them. You can always PM me for help or to answer the questions.
Gotta a find a woman be good to me,
Who won't hide my liquor, try to serve me tea.

Yes, you were right in all of them! But, 5 can also be numbers for a house or just plain numbers or something.
