Riddles Friday

A riddle is a statement, question or phrase having a double or veiled meaning, put forth as a puzzle to be solved. Riddles are of two types: enigmas, which are problems generally expressed in metaphorical or allegorical language that require ingenuity and careful thinking for their solution, and conundra, which are questions relying for their effects on punning in either the question or the answer.

Today I want us to have some fun. You have 10 seconds to answer all these riddles. Post the ones you got right in the comment section. And no cheating by googling either. Let your smart friends help you. Lol
