Here's a little something to brighten your Tuesday. I came up with this as I was drifting off last night. First person to give the answer I'm thinking of gets made-from-scratch cookies in the mail. Riddle me this:
Like my instruments, I am both sharp and blunt. Who am I?

well, without the rest of the riddle, "i am both sharp and blunt" makes me think of a pointed question. but in context, it doesn't make sense.
back to the drawing board...

Posted by: george at January 12, 2005 10:39 PMAddendum: my mother is also the SMARTEST. My parents just got here. Like two minutes ago. I showed my mom the riddle and she had it in five seconds. She didn't even need the profession clue! Must be the genes.
