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...
What is it that by losing an eye has nothing left but a nose?
And, the answer is NOISE!
We had a myriad of clever answers today. We had Darcy's "Popeye," and Dashwood's "Flying Purple People Eater." I suppose the People Eater's offspring would be Gene's mother in law and Angelo's former teacher.
Come back next Friday for another of Mr. Punch's Puzzles!

I won't say my mother in law, even if that's the answer. You should see her nose.
I don't think I should.
Sandy Duncan.
Good, ol' Wheat Thins herself.
Any Jackson family member.
Andrew.
Mr. Punch.
Good answer
A flying purple people eater.
Mr. Potato head
That's the second time he's been a riddle answer.
But, the first time for a Flying Purple People Eater.
My freshman math teacher Mrs. Ricci. Old cow had a nose like a buzzrd and one good eye.
But, could she dance?
Popeye?
Popeye is always a good answer.
Jimmy Durante.
Aaaa--cha, cha.
Didn't one actress allegedly wear a rubber nose? A dancer? It's her.
I think you mean Ann Miller. Frightening, tapping, spinning Ann Miller and her rubber nose.
