Have No Face
I turn my head and you may go where you want.
I turn it again, you will stay till you rot.
I have no face, but I live or die,
By my crooked teeth.
What am I?
A key
Stink When Alive
I stink when I’m alive, but I smell good when I’m dead. What am I?
A pig. Mmm, ham and bacon…
Three Lives Have I
Three lives have I.
Gentle enough to soothe the skin,
Light enough to caress the sky,
Hard enough to crack rocks.
Water.
A Cloth Poorly Dyed
A cloth poorly dyed
And an early morning sky
How are they the same?
Their color both change easily.
What Has Wheels and Flies?
What has wheels and flies, but is not an aircraft?
A trash truck. I heard this one when I was a kid. Still a classic!
Bowl That Can’t Be Filled
I am as round and deep as a bowl, but all the world’s water couldn’t fill me up. What am I?
A sieve.
On My Own I’m Twenty-Fourth
On my own I’m 24th,
Two of us and I’m 20,
Three of us and I’m 18.
What am I?
The letter X. It is the 24th letter of the alphabet, two Xs in Roman numerals equals twenty and triple x represents adult content, and adulthood is eighteen by law in most countries.
All Those Legs
Two legs sat upon three legs with one leg in his lap.
In comes four legs, grabs one leg, and runs off with him.
Up jumps two legs, grabs up three legs, throws it after four legs,
and makes him bring back one leg.
Who are we?
One leg is a leg of mutton. Two legs is a person. Three legs is a stool. Four legs is a dog.
