Yes its the Riddle of the Sphinx

In Greek mythology, the Sphinx sat outside of Thebes and asked this riddle of all travelers who passed by. If the traveler failed to solve the riddle, then the Sphinx killed him/her. And if the traveler answered the riddle correctly, then the Sphinx would destroy herself.
Oedipus solved the riddle, and the Sphinx destroyed herself.

I studied this at school...... very inserting play actually. Its where Freud got his Oedipus theory

Don't know if you've this one but...

A woman shoots her husband.
Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes.
Finally, she hangs him.
But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.
How can this be?

Because she photoshoots him? As in.. takes a picture. Then takes it to the developing room, holds the picture under water and hangs it.

Then they go for dinner.

I'm probably talking rubbish though... but it was worth a go!

She took a picture of him then developed the photo

Most would have probably heard this, and if you have - don't say the secret of it It's not so much a riddle....


Scenario...At her mother's funeral, a woman meets a guy and falls in love with him instantly. However, she never got his name, number or any other information about him. A few days later, the woman kills her sister.

Question...Why did she kill her sister?

I think somebody is using my thread to practice their comedy skills.

Please don't when it involves Danielle, and Lauren, don't encourage him.

No you're right Lauren - this isn't a riddle. I think I have heard it before, so I know the answer (shocker. )

You don't want me to say though, do you?

I think the answer is she killed her sister because she wanted to see if the guy she liked turned up at her sister's funeral as well!
