Transcript of “Old-Fashioned Riddles”
Hey Grant, I have another old-time riddle for you.
Oh, please.
All right. Here it is.
What goes around the world but stays in a corner?
The equator.
The equator stays in a corner?
I have no idea. I don’t know.
What goes around the world but stays in a corner? I don’t know what.
I love this one. A stamp.
A stamp.
That’s very nice.
Yeah, yeah. I kind of had to think back in the memory banks the last time I used a stamp to send something by postal mail.
That’s nice. Do you have another one?
Yes, I do.
I can run but not walk. Wherever I go, thought follows close behind. What am I?
My mouth.
Close your nose.
My nose.
So your mouth can run, yeah.
I was thinking of running in my mouth and being ahead of my brain. Happens all the time.
