748.0. "Riddles" by VISA::BIJAOUI (Tomorrow Never Knows) Sun Dec 10 1989 23:03

    Hello there,
    
    I have been playing a game with friends, not very known in France (to
    my knowledge): riddles.
    
    I know of a few (3), and I would be willing to share more of these.
    Now, I don't intend to have the people here working on solving a
    riddle, although this might be a funny topic !
    Basically, I would like to know about more. The ones I know are the
    following:
    
    "A man is pushing his car, stops by a hotel and gives money to his
    friend"
    
    "A man, in Paris, cuts his arm, sends it to a man in London, this man
    forwards it to a guy in Manchester, that finally, throw it in the bin"
    
    "A man gets out of his house, comes back, watches a stick, and commit
    suicide"
    
    The game is find the 'why' of each of these situations. Has anybody got
    any other ?
    
    
    Regards,
    Pierre.

    G'day,
