    What is the difference between a military school and a locomotive conductor?

    One punches your ticket to ride, the other punches your ticket after the ride?

    This is an old one that should be easy.

    What walks on 4 legs in the morning, 2 legs in the afternoon, and 3 legs in the evening?

    Ahh, Seeker... I remember the legs riddle. Inspired me to look up a couple of others. These are pretty easy:


    I "Alive without breath,
    as cold as death;
    Never thirsty, ever drinking,
    All in mail never clinking...
    "

    &

    II "It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
    Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
    It lies behind stars and under hills,
    And empty holes it fills
    It comes first and follows after,
    Ends lilfe, kills laughter...
    "

    Okay, two more since there's several to choose from...

    III "Voiceless it cries,
    Wingless flutters,
    Toothless bites,
    Mouthless mutters.
    "

    This one may be a tad tougher...

    IV "An eye in a blue face
    Saw an eye in a green face.
    'That eye is like to this eye'
    Said the first eye.
    'But in low place,
    Not in high place.'
    "

    Esp, I was too late...

    Someone over here gave me the answer, TruthSeeker already posted it though.

    It's a damn pity, just when I finally knew the answer.

    This is as light as a feather but nobody can hold on to it.
    What is it...?


    An answer please, thank you...

    In my enthusiasm I totally overlooked the answer by Esp:

    Banshee,
    Air? Time?

    Take your pick...

    I think none of air or time. We can hold air in our lung. And we can't measure the light(weight) of time.
    If it has exacly same weight with feather, it must be a feather too. It's still stuck on flying bird, so nobody can't hold it

    ....ok seriously...
    I think it's an imagination.
    ...Imagination about something as light as a feather

    Banshee,

    Just to clarify. I am SeekerOfTruth.

    Not to be confused with TruthSeeker who has a lot of opinions that I do not necessarily agree with.

    We are two different people with largely different views of the world.

    SeekerOfTruth the difference is very clear. Sad that a thoughtless person has tarnished your avatar with his misleading avatar name. Sigh.
