Transcript of “Guess the Animal Riddle”
All right, Martha, here’s another riddle.
All right.
Four stiff standers, two lookers, two crookers, and one switch box.
What is it?
Oh, man.
Okay, four stiff standers.
I’m going to guess that’s the letter I.
And then what was the second one?
Two lookers.
Two lookers.
Okay, I’m going to say those are I’s.
Okay, and what was the rest of it?
And one switch box.
Licks-a-licks-a-licks-a.
No, no, they don’t.
That’s not right?
No, no, they don’t stand for letters.
Oh, well, that’s.
They’re the features on a thing.
They’re what?
They describe the features on something.
Oh, I have no idea.
A cow.
Four stiff standers are legs.
Oh, a cow.
Two lookers are eyes.
You were right there.
Two crookers are the horns.
And one switch box is the tail.
Oh, a switch box?
It’s so cute.
I like that, too, because a switch box is you think, oh, you know,
Something electrical in the house maybe.
But no, they’re talking about the tail switching back and forth.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Notice how I’m not making any cow puns whatsoever,
Just out of deference to you.
Well, nice move.
It’s the best joke I ever heard.
Oh.
Well, if you want to call and complain,
The number is 1-877-929-9673.
That’s 1-877-WAYWORD.
And if you keep making puns, I’ll run and hide.
No.
