Sweet in the Sun
When young, I am sweet in the sun.
When middle-aged, I make you gay.
When old, I am valued more than ever.
Wine
Gets Rid of Bad Ones
Gets rid of bad ones,
Short and tall,
Tightens when used
One size fits all.
A noose.
Tongue Can’t Taste, Throat Can’t Swallow
What has a tongue that can’t taste, a throat that can’t swallow, eyes that can’t see and a soul that will never die?
A shoe. It has a tongue, a throat, eyes (or eyelets) and a sole. I used soul here or else it would have given the answer away, but this riddle works best when told rather than read. And as the joke goes, old shoes never die, they just lose their sole.
Not Burned in Fire Nor Drowned in Water
What can’t be burned in a fire nor drowned in water?
Ice. It melts instead of burning in a fire and it floats in water.
Something To Everybody And Nothing To Everyone Else
What is something to everybody and nothing to everyone else?
Your mind.
I’m Something You Might Eat But I Also Kill
I’m something you might eat, but I also kill.
I can cause blindness and burns.
Because of me, people lose limbs.
I’ve even been known to crash cars.
And yet I’m considered beautiful
Small children play with me and parents don’t mind.
Some people even live inside of me.
What am I?
Snow. Every kid has taken a bite of snow, but thousands of people die every year in snowstorms. Watch out for photokeratitis, otherwise known as snow blindness. And if you’re exposed to snow for too long, you can lose limbs to frostbite. Just an inch or two of snow makes them treacherous.
A recent snowfall makes the world white, and kids love to build snowmen, snow forts and have snowball fights. Some people live in igloos, built out of snow.
None There’ll Be
There is a word of letters three,
Add one letter to it and none there’ll be.
What is the word?
One. Add an ‘n’ to get none.
