Mr. Punch's Puzzles: The Riddle of the Week



Once, again, Mr. Punch, with my help, is offering up a true Victorian riddle.  The first person to answer correctly--by posting in the comments--will receive public congratulations.  Be on the look-out!  Sometimes--not today, because, frankly, again, I don't feel like it--the winner will receive a fabulous prize from our online store.  Next week, you can expect a great prize!

So, here's this week's riddle.  We ask that you don't Google the answer.  Mr. Punch would not like that and it might get you a slapstick across the noggin.  Give it a shot and see what you can come up with.  Here we go...


If a goat should swallow a rabbit what would be the result?


And the answer is...


A hare in the butter.


Many thanks to all of you who answered.  Your responses were a lot of fun!  Come back next Friday for another of Mr. Punch's Puzzles!






And, remember, if you want to remind people “That’s the way to do it,” one of our exclusive designs is just the thing you’re looking for!

One satisfied awesome goat.

Knowing your love of goats, April, this one was for you. Though I'm sure the goat would Ne satiated, that's not the answer.

Sam P said...

Goat vomit.

Joseph Crisalli said...

Quite possibly, unless he follows the rabbit with Thomas' Eclectric Oil. But, not the answer...

Kathy said...

Lucky goats foot?

Joseph Crisalli said...

That would look interesting hanging from your rearview mirror.

Darcy said...

A long-eared goat that enjoys hopping and eating carrots or a short-eared rabbit that enjoys mountain climbing and eating tin cans?

Joseph Crisalli said...

I'd like to see that--especially the rabbit eating tin cans. Good answer, bit not the desired one. Lol.

Matt said...

A really hopping bad chevre salad? Look at me being sophisticated.

Joseph Crisalli said...

Sophisticated, yes. Correct? No.

Carolyn said...

A big harey problem?

Joseph Crisalli said...

Close, Carolyn. Very close.

Bunny hop

Joseph Crisalli said...

Clever, Dashwood. We're still looking for a different answer.

Gene said...

No Easter eggs.

Joseph Crisalli said...

Yikes! That would be one hungry goat to eat the Easter Bunny. You're funny, Gene!
