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 that which goes with a carriage, comes with a carriage, is of no use to a carriage, and yet the carriage cannot go without it?
And, the answer is...
NOISE
Which falls somewhere between Darcy's satellite radio, Gene's mother-in-law, and Dashwood's existentialism and closest to Angelo's answer of a horn. Well done, today. Come back next week for another of Mr. Punch's Puzzles.

Cupholders.
Standard issue in 1875.
Horse droppings.
In some sense, I suppose that's true.
Flies.
Most carriages don't fly. : )
GPS, hands-free cell phones, and satellite radio.
On all carriages made after 1879.
People.
Just like Soylent Green.
Carriage is everything. Without it, you're nothing but a slouch.
Sam is today's Posture Pal.
A sense of self actualization and esteem. How can you be a carriage unless you feel fulfilled as a carriage?
Where I come from, we call this deep thinking.
I'll ask my mother in law.
Right...because she's old.
Dashwood...Sorry, I missed your answer. Sometimes they sneak up on me.
Yours is a very perfect answer for the "Special Snowflake" mentality of young millennial carriages...from the 1900s.
A horn.
Interesting answer, Angelo.
