Hi,
This is just a bit of fun, but I am going to post a few riddles on here and wait for people to get them correct (what I see as correct anyway) and when people have got all of thos I wil post a few more, ok here goes...

1. It is said among my people that some things are improved by death.
Tell me, what stinks while living, but in death, smells good?

2. What goes through the door without pinching itself?
What sits on the stove without burning itself?
What sits on the table and is not ashamed?

3. A man while looking at a photograph said, "Brothers and sisters have I none. That man's father is my father's son." Who was the person in the photograph?

There you go, enjoy.

"A man goes out for a walk and it starts to rain. He did not have an umbrella and he wasn't wearing a hat. His clothes were soaked, yet not a single hair on his head got wet."

His son isn't it?

That man's father is my father's son. So it is his son in the picture.

EDIT: Oops, FFF already got it.
