In Oklahoma, you cannot take a picture of a man with a sign. Why not?

The more you have of it, the less you see. What is it?

What is the middle of nowhere?

What do you throw out when you want to use it, but take in when you don’t want to use it?

Quote Eric View Post
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.
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".

Why did they say they weren't twins?
Because they were triplets.

anybody have any riddles that are English specific? Maybe, that can be used in class? Some of the previous riddles can be used but I was wondering if there were some more out there?

I have a little house in which I live all alone. It has no doors or windows, and if I want to go out I must break through the wall.
