What kind of math to owls do?
Answer: Owlgebra.
That is one of the many riddles found on the wrapper of fruit-flavored candy called Laffy Taffy. I have gotten that riddle with 3 different pieces of Laffy Taffy. So, I'm a little tired of that one. And I can't find that wrapper, so I don't know who sent that one in to the Laffy Taffy folks. Here's one of my favorites:
How do you make a witch itch?
Answer: Take way her W.
Emily L., Ridgecrest, CA.
Laffy Taffy is for little kids. And, the riddles are written by little kids. But, I like them. Sometimes I want evidence that other people are even sillier than I am. And these kids are using their heads:
What happened when the boat carrying red paint hit the boat carrying blue paint?
Answer: They were marooned.
Bernadette G., Stafford, MO.
Not all Laffy Taffy riddles are up to these high standards. But, it looks like there's hope for the human race, after all.
Alert - Defective Laffy Taffy?
I have to report the following three low quality riddles, all on one wrapper:
What is a dentist's favorite musical instrument?
Answer: A tuba toothpaste. [Not too bad.]
Donny D., Newfane, NYWhat did the football say to the football player?
Answer: I get a kick out of you. [Really old.]
Elitra H., Shugulak, MSWhat kind of tree grows in your hand?
Answer: A palm tree. [Really old.]

Well, maybe they are OK. But I have heard better.
A reader of this page wants to know the answer to the following Laffy Taffy riddle (the answer was cut off, a well-known disappointment): What do camels wear in the desert? I can't find the email address of this person to give him the following answer, suggested by another reader: Camel-flage. Maybe that's what the troops were wearing this season?
