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...
Elizabeth, Elsbeth, Betsy and Beth all went out to find a bird's nest. They each found one, with one egg in it. How many eggs did they find?
And the answer is...
One.
Those are all variations of the same name, so, it's the same person. Spoooooky. Great answers today! So great, in fact, I decided to close the contest a little early. I look forward to the continued cleverness next week with another Friday edition of Mr. Punch's Puzzles!

None. A group of truckers came and ate them all. Fried. Stole the chikens too.
As one does.
Four thousand.
Busy chickens.
An ax. It was Lizzie Borden.
Yikes!
They weren't bird nests. Snakes.
So you're saying they were all poisoned.
Who looks for bird's nests?
Victorian ladies.
None. My mother in law got there first.
Tragedy.
Scrambled. Poached. OVer Easy and Mayonnaise.
A fine assortment.
Four. But they were fish eggs.
Limited caviar.
Queen Elizabeth finding Faberge eggs.
I wish they grew in nests.
Three and one broken mess . Because they lived in Humpty Dumpty Land and the forth egg was Humpty Dumpty.and all the King's horses and all the King's men couldn't put Humpty together again.
I think Bo Peep may have had something to do with it.
I know she did! She has a long reach.
After murdering Dumpty, Bo Peep joined the truckers and took it on the lam. Not the first time she was on the lamb. Long history with sheep that girl. Not too many girls these days realize how deeply disturbed sheep can be.
Ha! Puns. Wonderful.
