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. For Angelo, this one is just one line. Here we go... No cheating...
How can you ask a Doctor of Divinity, in one phrase, to play the violin?
And, the answer is...
Fiddle-dee-dee.
Miss O'Hara would be proud. We had a lot of great responses today! Many thanks for making this a fun feature. Come back next Friday for another of Mr. Punch's Puzzles.
Mr. Punch wants you to always know “the way to do it,” so why not check out our “That’s the way to do it!” products which are available only at our online store?
Fiddle-dee-dee.

I'm here! I'm here! Hmmmmmmmm.... I have so many answers for this which just aren't right for your site, you cute, little puppet lover.
I would tell tne doctor of divinity to grab his instrument.
Because that is appropriate. April, have you noticed that everyone waits for you to answer first? You're the Queen of the riddles.
Tell hymn to play. I put this in the wrong place first.
Pray, play for us.
Also...ha!
How about..."Father can you fiddle?" Ha!! :)
Play when the saints come marching in.
Which is always a treat on the violin.
Clever, Shawm! Sorry. I thought I posted yours before Marsha's.
And, I know Shawn is spelled with an "n.". I need new contacts.
I got no answer, but thanks for the shout-out.
I aim to please.
Holy up and play!
Ah! Very good.
Would he play in the key of theolo-G? Oh I crack myself up.
And you do me, too, Matt.
Would never ask him. There's too much violins today.
Very true.
Hey Doc be divine and fiddle me up a tune. Perhaps you can play "Sheep gotta float birds gotta fly"?
Good answer, Darcy! I think we should write new lyrics for that famous song to include sheep floating! By the way, fans of floating sheep should keep their eyes opened. Something is coming soon... We should just be happy that sheep don't fly. They'd ruin our cars.
Funny, Darcy. I think the answer is a bow to God. Bow like what you use on a violin and bow like to show respect.
Good job, Gene!
