Riddle Me This

Couple of riddles and a joke for you.  Answers for the riddles are below after the joke.

The total cost for a bat and a ball is $1.10.  The bat costs $1.00 more than the ball.  How much does the ball cost?  (Answer – it’s not your first guess so do the math carefully before you answer.)

Solve:  What has 4 letters, sometimes has 9 letters and never has 5 letters.  (Hint this is a statement not a question.)

Now the joke.  You have heard a lot about DACA the past couple of days but do you know what DACA stands for?  Answer – Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.  Same thing that is on my condoms.


Riddle answers.  Most folks initially say that the ball costs 10 cents.  But if that were the case then the bat would cost $1.10 putting the total cost of the two items @ $1.20.  Correct answer then is that the ball costs 5 cents.

The answer to the word riddle is just that – it’s the words themselves.  W-H-A-T has 4 letters etc.

Heard a song playing in a restaurant somewhere in France that caught my ear and learned that it was by this young lady.  Great voice and a red head too!
