This made me feel stupid

[HBox]

In one of my classes tonight my professor pointed out this story in one of our books:

A father and son are out fishing one day. On their trip home, they get into a bad car accident. The father dies on impact, the son is in critical condition. They rush the kid to the hospital where he needs emergency surgery. The surgeon walks in, looks at the kid, and says "I can't operate on this boy. He's my son."

How is this possible? It took me a while to figure it out, and I felt like such a goddamn idiot once I did.

[mikeyboy]

The answer was pretty obvious to me. I won't post it yet, though.

It just says "a father", right? So it's not necessarily the kid's father...either that or they hit ANOTHER father/son duo in the other car...

A father and son


this gives it away, i think...

and if so it's still kind of cheesy because it makes you assume...

No Mojo. You are making it too complicated. There is a very simple answer.

Shouldn't she have said, "Oh my God, my son, my poor son!"

Yeah, but that would give it away.

that riddle was told by Edith Bunker on an episode of All In The Family in the 1970's. Neither Archie nor Meathead got it either.

How about this one:

There are three words in the English language that end in "gry".
One is angry and the other is hungry. Everyone knows what the third
One means and what it stands for. Everyone uses them everyday, and if you
listened very carefully, I've given you the third word.

This one pissed me off when I found out the answer. And, no, that wasn't a clue.

That answer for the 70s was fine.

But for a more contemporary answer, the doctor could have been a guy. He could have been the partner of the guy that was killed and he was now forced to operate on his adopted son.

The answer is language. The whole "gry" was just a smokescreen.

QUESTION: You are walking through a field, and you find something to eat. It doesn't have bones, and it doesn't have meat. You pick it up and put it into your pocket. You take it home and put it on a shelf, but 3 day's later it walks away. What is it?

<img src="http://hometown.aol.com/erzengel1/images/attack.jpg">

[silera]

Language doesn't end in "gry."

I want to cry now I feel so stupid.

What's the third word then?

There are many variations on this riddle. The one in this thread happens to be the most poorly worded. Here's one that makes a little more sense (pulled from the site listed by Ms. Fuzzybutt):


Think of words ending in -gry. `Angry' and `hungry' are two of them. What is the third word in the English language? You use it every day, and if you were listening carefully, I've just told you what it is.

The answer, of course, is `language' (the third word in `the English language').

A father and son are out fishing one day. On their trip home, they get into a bad car accident. The father dies on impact, the son is in critical condition


you can say that the doctor was his mother but their can also be another explanation:

the father and son are not related(it does not say his son)... they just happen to be fishing on the same day and took seperate cars home and got into seperate accidents... it really doesn't define the situation either way...

so the doctor could be male and be the real father of the son...

here's another:

you throw away the outside
cook the inside
eat the outside
throw away the inside

what is it?

Hers another stupid riddle-like thing

A guy trapped in a room with no windows doors, nothing, no way out.
The only thing in the room is a mirror.
