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.  Some week, I may offer a nifty prize from our online store.  But, this week, again, I don't feel like it.

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 always runs but never walks, 
often murmurs, never talks, 
has a bed but never sleeps, 
has a mouth but never eats?



And...the answer is...

A RIVER

Well, we had April say "Joan Rivers," which is...like a river.  Sort of.  As always, great, funny answers today, and queries about Bertie.  Yay!  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.

An Amoeba. Noisy little buggers. Can never quite make out what they're murmuring.

"Mama always used to run in Central Park. She'd...well, she'd run and run...and, then...well, it was just the most wonderful thing, she'd...well, she'd just howl like a...like, well you know how an opera singer makes that noise, when, you know, when she...and her nose...when she sneezes. And, then the hotdog man would stop and Mama would say...let go of those hams, you filthy little hotdog."
