    I guess for those less talented than I can only do it 293 ways, but I can do it 314 ways (You see I bought this book and...well...:)

    Enjoy,

    Boy, that is a stumper! I'd give a penny for your thoughts (or maybe even five pennies, a nickel, and a...)
    ;)

    Okay, here's another riddle. You visit a friend and he walks up to a picture on his mantle. You ask who is in the picture, and he replies...
    "Brothers and sisters have I none, but that man's father is my father's son"

    Who is in the picture?

    It's the friend's son. The second part, 'my father's son' is either him or a brother. But it says he doesn't have a brother, so it's him. Therefore, 'That man's father' is him, he is the father, so it's his son. Do I win shoes or dresses? ;)

    Ok, since no one has come up with the answer to Night Train's riddle (actually it's not really a riddle), here it is:

    since no one has come up with the answer to Night Train's riddle...
    Now hold it! I thought my witty yet elusive reply to his post demonstrated that I knew what he was referring to (making change for a dollar)!

    I will have to be more direct in my future answers, I suppose (sulk, sulk)!
