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 is the devil riding a mouse like one and the same thing?
And the answer is... Sin on a Mouse (synonymous). Oh...for fun. So, I confess, this was a confusing one. But, you all did so well. Special mention to Darcy, Dashwood, Matt, Gene...well...to all of you, really.
Come back next Friday for another of Mr. Punch's Puzzles!

Because a mouse that big is hell.
I can't disagree.
I don't get it.
I'm not sure I do either.
Because both can sneak into your house and chew up your wires.
I hadn't thought of that.
Both have tails.
Lots of things have tails.
My mother in law would crush a mouse.
I'll bet.
They're both pests.
Can't argue with that.
One is a demon and one is vermin.
A suitably Victorian answer.
My grandmother used to tell this joke, so I won't answer since I knew it before.
That's very polite.
Both have whiskers.
If you say so.
Cheese is a big part of both of their lives.
As it should be.
The Devil rides on a road infernal
A mouse rode by anyone is a mouse worn internal.
Ha! Clever!
