I also like the thought of a bear so large that it sandwiches its paws simultaneously into opposite sides of the phone booth. (laugh) (laugh)

Ah, he caught a swordfish and thought it was dead. He called someone to brag and the swordfish recovered from being stunned and stabbed him through one phone booth wall and out the other?

Here's the solution:

Not the smartest of people, the fisherman gestures while on the phone, "I caught a fish THIS big!"

LMAO! So, more of a joke than a riddle, but is pretty funny!

milkanannan

Haha I guess. Sorry, I didn’t mean to hold the thread hostage. :P

Can we revive this thread? Mandle, it's technically your turn. (I can try and drum up a riddle if you'd rather pass.)

Here is an original Lord of the Rings riddle/joke that I came up with:

"What is the legal drinking age in Middle Earth?"

Here's a hint.
Spoiler
Think of Bilbo's birthday.

If you still haven't got it the answer is:

Eleventeen.

Didn't quite get yours but here's one of my own:

Q: Why was Gandalf good at golf?

Spoiler
A: Because he could always get a couple of eagles.

Spoiler
Bilbo had his eleventieth birthday (11*10) so by using that logic you get 11+10 = eleventeen which conveniently happens to be the same as 21.

Mandle

Ah, I had always thought it was his eleventy-first birthday and that's probably why I didn't get the reference.

A new one I came up with today that I think is worthy:
(Please answer in spoiler tags if possible. I think it's worth it to let others feel that "click" moment)
------------------------------------------------------

I was walking down a very dark and narrow lane one night. A light approached from behind me. I was worried it might be a car. Then I looked back and saw it was just a bicycle. At which point I stopped being merely worried and became scared.

Why?

Mandle

By the way, I'll answer this one I posted above as it's just a silly thing:

Q: Why was Gandalf good at golf?
A: Because he can always get at least a few eagles.

The new one is a bit more elegant I'd say.

Why?
Spoiler
Because "just a bicycle" must be ridden by an invisible ghost?

Ah, I didn't think about that. My first thought was:

E.T. in the basket bike  (laugh)

This is indeed the correct answer. About how long did it take you? Or was it immediate?

30 seconds...I first wondered if there was somehow a pun involving "recycle". But on another day I probably would have been stumped.

Two pointing up, four pointing down,
two showing the way to town,
and one dragging behind.

Mandle

I doubt it, but, just to get things rolling:

A scorpion?

Whoops!

Nope.
