Consider this phone conversation:

May I speak to the director?"

"Who's calling, please?"

"John Rominich."

"I beg your pardon, could you please spell your last name?"

"R as in Rome, O as in Oslo, M as in Madrid, I as in Innsbrook..."

"I as in what?"

"Innsbrook."

"Thanks, please go ahead."

"N as in Nome..."

This does not make sense. Why?

On March 15th, a friend was telling me, "Every day I have a cup of coffee. I drank 31 cups in Januray, 28 in February, and 15 in March. So far, I drank 74 cups of coffee. Do you know how many cups of coffee I would have drunk thus far if it had been a leap year?"

"May I speak to the director?"

"Who's calling, please?"

"John Rominich."

"I beg your pardon, could you please spell your last name?"

"R as in Rome, O as in Oslo, M as in Madrid, I as in Innsbrook..."

"I as in what?"

"Innsbrook."

"Thanks, please go ahead."

"N as in Nome..."

This does not make sense. Why?

A bottle is standing upside down on a dollar bill. Can you take out the bill without tipping or touching the bottle, and without help from anyone else?

I need this answered for a riddle contest - thanks!

............ when I realized that I had to run upstairs for a moment. I did not want the coffee to get cold, and I had the to add the milk at room temperature. Should I add the milk before I go up or after I get back?

bicycle race. They decided that the bike to cross the finish line first would lose and the one to cross second would win.

They hopped on and raced toward the finish line, about 100 yards from the line, they slowed to a halt, each one determined to reach the finish line second. It was then that they realized how stupid they were. They got out to discuss their wager.

A passerby suggested a solution to them that sent them racing back to the bikes, each one speeding toward the finish line, determined to be first!

The advice that the passerby gave them in no way changed the original terms of the wager, what was the advice????

What a day I have had. I bought a box of cookies to comfort me.

As I was sitting down to eat them, 4 friends came over and boldly (rudely, I thought) reminded me that they had shared their cookies with me once, and now it was time to pay up.

To my first friend, I gave half of the cookies and half a cookie.

To my second friend, I gave half of the remaining cookies and half a cookie.

To my third friend, I gave half of the remaining cookies and half a cookie.

To my fourth friend, I gave what was left in the box and half a cookie.

How many cookies did I have in the box originally?

It is important to note: I never cut up or broke in two any of the cookies...

I am in a riddle contest and cannot figure this one out!

Rootless vine of time

waterless I grow

and climb

and if by chance

I mutter

tis my name

I utter...

A window in a room

that has none

from which a breeze

has never come

a window that poses

but one question

are you looking out or in...

For time I've given measure

for some I've hidden treasure

hard as stone

soft as silk

black as ash

white as milk...

What is everywhere

as common as air

ever moving

deceptively still

under rock

upon windowsill...

What has leaves

no drought could wither

is half beginning

half end

a spine

fear couldn't quiver

is sometimes real

sometimes pretend...

A Consumer Survey company was hired by a Mustard Company to find out how many people liked hot mustard and how many like mild. The report the Survey Company revealed is here:

Number of people surveyed: 300

Number of hot mustard users: 234

Number of mild mustard users: 213

Number who use both hot and mild: 144

Number who never used mustard: 0

After the Survey Company completed its report, they were fired and had their check cancelled. Why?
