Riddle Me This

[Cactus]

Looks like people are keying in on the wrong part of the anatomy. I guess that is because ear rhymes with engineer. That isn't it. It is in the same part of the body as the two given examples: foot and toe.

Another thing that may be throwing people off is their idea of what engineer's do. Don't think of today's electrical or mechanical engineers who design and build our smart phones and mobile devices. Think of civil engineers who build buildings like the original World Trade Center in the 60s. That's when I first heard this riddle.

You could also insert architect here instead of engineer for the same answer, but that is probably giving the clue away.

arch you glad....flat feet....golden arches

 

[nnuut]

I give up!

 

[Cactus]

OK, one last clue. You could also substitute "builder" or "land surveyor" for engineer and get the same answer.

OK, I give up. I'll give you the answer to this one and give you a new riddle.

The answer is: Two square feet.

Was that really that hard? OK, I'll give you a new one from my list of viking jokes. I have a good (gross) one I think you all would like, but that may be too hard so we'll start with this one:

What do Eric the Red and Smokey the Bear have in common?

NO, "they are both dead" doesn't count. It has an obvious & humorous answer your grandkids would give.

 

[Frixxxx]

They both have "the" as a middle name!

 

[Cactus]

Frixxxx has got it!!! Your turn.

 

[rcknfrewld]

frixxxx wants to know what word you can make shorter by adding two letters to it

 

[jpcavin]

Short

 

[nnuut]

Or 3 letters!~

 

[rcknfrewld]

Short

you are correct...make it take it...jpcavin wants to know if an electric train is traveling south which way is the smoke blowing

 

[jpcavin]

Why are you asking my riddle? I've been patiently waiting for my turn

 

[rcknfrewld]

apologies...I assumed you knew you were right when you first answered...I get carried away with riddles...have a million of wandering around in my noggen...you have the conch shell...I'm guessing you knew the train one from your previous answers...you are a true double threat...at least that's what burro told me in confidence
