Some Short Funny Riddles
1. There is a book which at one time was owned only by rich people. Now everyone can have it, but it usually isn't for sale and can't be borrowed from the public library. What book is it?
2. Buffalo have been shown to have more hair on one side rather than the other. Which side has more hair?
3. 1999 dimes are worth almost $200. Why?
4. A teacher had sixteen students, and all but ten quit school. How many students did he have left?
5. How many blocks of stone did it take to complete one of the pyramids?
6. A woman is shot, held under water for five minutes, and hung, but a short time later she goes to dinner with the man who did all this. How is this possible?

Answers:
1. A telephone book (only the wealthy had phones when they first were made).
2. The outside!
3. Because 1999 dimes add up to $199.90 - almost $200!
4. Ten of course ("all but ten")
5. Just one block - the last one!
6. The man was a photographer; he shot a photo of her, developed it in solution and hung it up to dry. (This one will get harder with age, as more people use digital cameras and forget how photos used to be developed.)
