A man is sitting in a pub feeling rather poor. He sees the man next to him pull a wad of 50 notes out of his wallet.
He turns to the rich man and says to him,
'I have an amazing talent; I know almost every song that has ever existed.'
The rich man laughs.
The poor man says, 'I am willing to bet you all the money you have in your wallet that I can sing a genuine song with a lady's name of your choice in it.'
The rich man laughs again and says, 'OK, how about my daughter's name, Joanna Armstrong-Miller?'
The rich man goes home poor. The poor man goes home rich.

What song did he sing?

DarkWolf OP February 9th, 2016

There was once a college that offered a class on probability applied to the real world. The class was relatively easy, but there was a catch. There were no homework assignments or tests, but there was a final exam that would have only one question on it. When everyone received the test it was a blank sheet of paper with a solitary question on it: 'What is risk?'. Most students were able to pass, but only one student received 100% for the class! Even stranger was that he only wrote down one word!
What did he write?

@WhiteBearClub

He didn't write 'something'. Think about the question that was asked, what is risk?

@DarkWolf

Since the class is about applying it to the real world, the student's answer is 'This', since just by using that one word is risky in itself, given that it's also the only exam given during the entire class.

@DarkWolf Can I guess two times? My first guess is: fish. :P My second guess is: a person with a clogged nose. Hope one of them is right.

@WhiteBearClub

Of course you can guess 2 times! And the original answer to this riddle is 'tongue', but that answer is a bit lame. I am giving you this one because I prefer your answer of a person with a clogged nose wink

Here's a new riddle:

In California , you cannot take a picture of a man with a wooden leg. Why not?

ladylazarus1971 February 10th, 2016

Because you have to take a picture with a camera. I don't think a wooden limb has any ability to capture a scene!

A young man walks through the forest. He comes to a bridge. In front of the bridge is a large man carrying an axe. The man says, "If you want to cross this bridge, you must tell me a statement. If I think the statement is true, you will be strangled to death. If I say the statement is false, your head will be chopped off." A few minutes later, the young man walked over the bridge, while the larger man stood pondering. What was the statement the young man had given?
