If My Hand Is Forced I Can Sink Ships
I move quickly with hurried steps,
If my hand is forced I can sink ships,
I’ll cause you to shudder when driving your car,
And haul your fuel to where you are,
I’ll watch you bleed from a cut,
Add a rear and I’ll tell you what’s what.
What am I?
Scuttle. To scuttle is to scurry or run hurriedly. Scuttling is the deliberate sinking of your own ship. Scuttle shake is felt in convertibles where the passengers feel a distinct shudder. A coal scuttle is a bucket-like container to haul coal. A shaving scuttle holds hot water when you’re shaving. And adding a “rear” forms scuttlebutt, or rumors and gossip.
Black, Red and White
What’s black when you get it, red when you use it, and white when you’re all through with it?
Charcoal.
Everyone Has It
Everyone has it.
Those who have it least don’t know that they have it.
Those who have it most wish they had less of it,
but not too little or none at all.
Age. Young children don’t even know their age and extremely old folks wish they could turn back the hands of time, but not so much that they’re too young or they no longer have an age at all.

What State Is Round On One Side
What state is round on one side, high in the middle, and round on the other side?
Ohio. This one works a little better when spoken rather than read, but O is round, hi sounds like high and the last O is as round as the first.
If You Look You Cannot See Me
If you look you cannot see me. If you see me you cannot see anything else. I can make anything you want happen, but later everything goes back to normal.
What am I?
Your imagination.
Five Letters But One Left When Two Removed
What word of five letters has only one left when two letters are removed?
Any 5-letter word with the word ‘one’ somewhere in it. Examples include shone, stone, alone, money, loner, phone or ornery. Note it doesn’t say there is only one letter left, but only ‘one’ left. Tricky tricky.
