I got that one right away, too. The clue was that it was in the washer. While I've never actually seen one, I have encountered them from time to time.

Re: The 2021 -2024 and Continuing Joke Threads

I am impressed with your quick correct answers.

Okay, so riddles time:


What word looks the same backwards and upside down?


What word is pronounced the same if you take away four of its five letters?


What month of the year has 28 days?


What can you break, even if you never pick it up or touch it?


What can you keep after giving to someone?


What goes up but never comes down?


You see a boat filled with people, yet there isn’t a single person on board. How is that possible?

I will endeavor to provide answers in a couple of days.

Queue is pronounced the same a Q.

You can break the bank without touching it.

You can give someone your opinion or your love or your wisdom and still have it.

The boat filled with people are all married.

You can break silence or a promise without touching them.


Or wind without picking it up.

Helium doesn't come down.

What can you break, even if you never pick it up or touch it? Your word and a promise, and of course you can keep them after giving them.
