Two women apply for a job. They are identical. They have the same mother, father, birthdays, height, weight, etc... The interviewer asks, "Are you twins?" They say, "No".

Riddles can be very useful in the classroom. They can be used as ice-breakers or to address stereotypes and cultural differences.

Please only use this thread to post riddles and their answers.

Because they were triplets.:D
