Did you see goku's last reply? "Never, it's always a door".

My latest entry: When it's made like a gate.

I've seen it now. Nope to all so far.

Here it is again just so folks don't have to scroll back: When is a door, not a door?

PS Love the color Infy; I always forget to use the color!

PPS Yellow was a poor choice; I always forget not to use Yellow!

True, but not the riddle solution. The answer is... a play on words. I mean that is not the answer but the character of the answer. Lord I'm tired.

I am also worn out myself. I had a water line break in my home today and I been playing plumber all day. I hate water when it goes out of control, like all over my basement floor. Anyway, about the riddle: When it's a doorway.

I feel like such an idiot. After hearing the answer I know that I heard this riddle many years ago but for lack of memory just couldn't summon the recall.

Criag is truly the riddlemister.

Re: Riddles

my grandfather, who is gone now, had a dog once. i don't remember the dogs name but i do remember that it wasn't smart.
one day grandady was cuttin grass on his snapper ridding mower when the thing went dead. he tried this he tried that but he could not get it to crank. finally dady told him that there is probably water in the gas.
grandady didn't believe him, but he got a pan to drain the gas in. the tank was almost full, so there was about 1, 1-1/2 gallons of gas in the pan. grandad set the pan down and went to get a wrench to take the bowl off the carburetor when here come the dog.
the dog stuck his nose in the pan and drunk all the gas. all at once the dog took off running, just a flyin, round and around the house. about three laps he made then run up the side of a tree, fell to the ground on his back and just laid there.
