Funny Riddles

Funny riddles are jokes really, but they still give you a chance to exercise your brain. A riddle after all, is just a form of lateral thinking puzzle. It leads you in one direction, but requires that you think in another to figure it out. Laughter, too, is good for the brain. Okay, I am waiting for the research on that, but it will be proven someday.
