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.  

So, here's this week's riddle.  We ask that you don't Google the answer.  Mr. Punch would not find that sporting at all.  Give it a shot and see what you can come up with.  Here we go... No cheating...


Why are cats like unskillful surgeons?

And, the answer is...


Because they mew-till-late (mutilate), and destroy patients (patience).


Isn't that just priceless?  Oh, for fun.  Actually, you guys came up with some really clever and amusing answers today.  Well done!  Special mention to April Matt, Sam P, Shawn, Carolyn, Darcy,  Dashwood, Gene, Angelo, and Barb.  Excellent responses!  Come back next Friday for another of Mr. Punch's Puzzles!

They both steal prescription drugs. Filthy, filthy cats. Almost as bad as sheep. Almost.

Joseph Crisalli said...

Almost.

Sam P said...

Both scam insurance companies.

Joseph Crisalli said...

Not a lot of feline love here.

Matt said...

Both give one paws......get it? Pause! Hahahaha!

Joseph Crisalli said...

I'm proud, Matt.

Carolyn said...

They'll both mangle a cooler of kidneys.

Joseph Crisalli said...

Charming.

Dashwood said...

Because they'll tear your flesh indiscrimately and then throw up in your slippers.

Naturally.

Joseph Crisalli said...

Especially the latter.

Darcy said...

They both go to sub-standard med schools and finish at the bottom of their classes and never have enough malpractice insurance .

Joseph Crisalli said...

That's very true.

Barb said...

Cats are more a-mew-sing than any doctor I ever met.

Joseph Crisalli said...

Oh, Barb...you slay me.

Angelo said...

Cat plastic surgeons are the worse. Look at Priscilla Presley.

Joseph Crisalli said...

That explains a lot.

Anonymous said...

They both use catgut. Differently of course.

Gene said...

Both start with a scratch.

Joseph Crisalli said...

Ha! Yay for Gene!

Marsha said...

Both use litter boxes.

Joseph Crisalli said...

Which is what one seeks in a surgeon.

Shawn said...

You can never be sure that either one hasn't had a "nip!" Ha!

By the way, I love Friday's because of Mr. Punch's Puzzles! Great answers today and Matt's made me laught out loud! Such fun! :)

Joseph Crisalli said...

Ha! Catnip! Wonderful! And who doesn't love a drunk surgeon?

Bonnie said...

The only difference is that the surgeon wont eat your face after you die.

Joseph Crisalli said...

You hope.

Joseph Crisalli said...

And, to Anonymous...yes, they do.
