I saw in another thread a little earlier that there were a few riddles getting thrown about so I thought I'd start a new topic specifically for riddles/puzzles. This idea isn't new, and I've stolen some of my riddles/puzzles from another forum I used to visit :)

Anyway, the "rules" are simple. I'll post a riddle/puzzle and whoever correctly answers/solves it can either post the next one or (if they can't think of another one) allow anyone to post next, and so it continues...

So, here's the first one:

Lenny has a psychological disorder whereby he takes everything literally. He is also incredibly obedient; if you tell him to "jump to it ", he will literally jump. When he was out walking in the park recently, he came upon a sign. When he read it, he looked around until he found a gardener, and approached him. "Excuse me, " he said to the gardener, in a defiant tone. " There is no freakin' way you're going to get me into one of those bins!" The confused gardener followed Lenny's pointing finger to an ordinary garbage bin.
What did the sign say to cause Lenny to behave this way?

Apparently something very bad...because Lenny has the psychological dissorder..not carl..

:lol: , I edited the first name from Carl to Lenny and forgot to change it throughout. My mistake (this has nothing to do with the riddle)
 
Only thing I can think of was that the sign called it a refuse bin so he refused to get into it. Didn't put much thought into it though.

Good enough for me 👍

The sign said "Refuse to be put in bin"

Carry on...
 
There is a seven-letter word in the English language that contains ten words without rearranging any of its letters." What is the word?

I've heard this one before so I'll give someone else the opportunity to answer it...
 
Oh, OK.

The word: Therein

The words: The, there, he, here, rein, her, in, ere, therein, herein

Next:

A man walks into a bar, he goes up to the bartender and asks for a glass of water.The bartender pulls out a gun and yells "BANG!". The man says "Thank you" and walks out the the bar. Explain what happend.
 
Another one to keep us going until Driftser gets back:

An old man wanted to leave all of his money to one of his 3 sons, but decided to give them a test to help him decide which one to leave it to. He gave them each a dollar and told them they had to buy something with that dollar that would fill the old man's living room. Number one son bought confetti, but there wasn't enough to fill the room. Number two son bought feathers but again, there wasn't enough to fill the room. Number three son bought two items and the end result filled the old man's room completely. What did son #3 buy ?
 
Guess number two was going to a lightbulb and a lamp, so that was a bit closer...

OK.

Two men are in the desert, each riding a camel. As they ride along, they decide to make things interesting with a little wager. They decide on a race. A race to oasis ahead in the distance. But rather than make this a regular race, they decide to add a twist. The man who's camel arrives second will be crowned victorious.
The two men wait around in the hot sun for a couple of hours, while their camels amble in all directions, but mainly towards their goal.
Then, along comes another man. He asks what the two men are doing standing around, letting their camels wander aimlessly! They inform him of the race they and the bet they have with each other. The third man thinks fora minute, then gets down of his camel and whispers in each man's ear.
Moments later, the two men leap onto the camels, and ride off at full steam towards the oasis... :odd:

What did the third man say to the two men?

"I have leprosy"
 
It's a mirage. probably wrong but all I can think of right now.

Or theres a naked Jennifer Love Hewitt lookalike waiting for the first person to get there.
 
He said you'd better get going cos I'm going to to get there first???

or

I'll give whoever gets there first three times the prize than the person thats second.
 
I will post the answer 1 hour from now.

You can keep thinking about it, or just wait... Either way, you'll know in a short amount of time. :D
 
The mind boggles, it boggles even more when it's late, I'll catch the answer tomorrow.
 
I'm sticking with the nkaed Jennifer Love Hewitt lookalike waiting for the first one there, it's wrong but it's the best suggestion so far imo. It's a fitting thought to go to bed with anyway.
