Answer or add new riddles, as you please.
A Panda walks into a bar and orders a burger and beer. He eats his food quietly, and when the waiter arrives to clear the plate, the Panda takes out a .357 Magnum and blows the waiter to Hell. The police catch up to him a few blocks away and ask why he did it. He responds, "Look me up in the dictionary, you'll find what you need to know there..."
What did it say in the dictionary? |

A panda is a large bear who eats shoots and leaves.
Four men sat down to play. They played all night till break of day. They played for gold and not for fun. With separate scores for everyone. When they had come to square accounts. They all had made quite fair amounts. Can you the paradox explain. If no one lost, how all could gain? |

They were playing in different games ?
| Quote: | | A farmer in California owns a beautiful pear tree. He supplies the fruit to a nearby grocery store. The store owner has called the farmer to see how much fruit is available for him to purchase. The farmer knows that the main trunk has 24 branches. Each branch has exactly 12 boughs and each bough has exactly 6 twigs. Since each twig bears one piece of fruit, how many plums will the farmer be able to deliver? |

My wife would have gotten this one. I had to cheat, so I won't spoil it. |

I stole this one from another forum:
While at the funeral of her own mother, a woman met a man who she did not know. She thought he was 'amazing'. She believed him to be her dream partner so much that she fell in love with him right there, but never asked for his number and could not find him. A few days later she killed her sister.
Question: What was her motive for killing her sister? |
