Traditional Riddles

Postby Jeffdsolo » Tue Nov 25, 2008 10:03 pm

Anyone know any Traditional Riddles?
Like this one:

The man who made me made me to sell me,
The man who bought me didn't use me,
The man who used me didn't know it.
What am I?

(PM your answers and I'll post when someone gets it) :)

ok, so here is one for you too;

What has six faces
But does not wear makeup.
It also has twenty-one eyes,
But cannot see?

my 2 pennies:

A man works on the 7th floor of a 10 floor building.
When the man goes to work, he takes the elevator up to the 5th floor and uses the stairs to the 7th.
When the elevator is occupied by people who go higher than the 5th floor, the man leaves at the higher floor or at the 7th.
When it rains, the man uses the elevator to the 7th.
Why does he do this?

ps. I am not logged in 24/7 so please accept a small delay on pm's.
