Riddle: It keeps something that cannot be kept, And wakes you when you have slept. It may go slow or stop at times, But even then it chimes.  What is it?
Answer: An alarm clock. “It keeps something that cannot be kept”: Time can’t be held; a clock only measures it as it slips by. “And wakes you when you have slept”: The alarm rings to wake you. “It may go slow or stop at times”: Clocks can run slow or stop (dead battery, mechanical hiccup). “But even then it chimes”: Many clocks still chime or ring on the hour/alarm, even if their timekeeping isn’t perfect.

Riddle: A young girl, Violet by name, was visiting with a group of her schoolmates at a friend's house. The air was filled with the noise of loud conversations, when an older woman called out for silence. She then asked one of the girls in attendance to remove something from a black bag she was holding. The older woman then announced, "Violet, you have the honor of being first!" Violet was then ushered to the center of the room where the older woman pushed a body part of an animal into Violet's hand. Suddenly, everything went dark for the young girl. Violet began to feel dizzy, and felt someone's hands on her. She then felt a slight push. As Violet staggered forward in the darkness, the loud chanting and shouting increased around her. Finally, Violet's hand bumped into something which, when the darkness was gone, gave her a feeling of pleasure and satisfaction. Was this scenario part of some bizarre, warped initiation into some strange cult, or is there a more pleasant explanation for these events.
Answer: Violet was at a birthday party, and was selected to be first in the Pin the Tail on the Donkey game they were playing. She was successful in pinning the tail just where it belonged. The body part of the animal was, of course, the donkey’s tail.

Riddle: “Did they bring it? Did they bring it? Did they bring it?” asked Mr. McCue excitedly. “If you’re talking about your precious piece of furniture — yes, they did bring it while you were at work,” responded his wife in an irritable fashion. “Well, where is it?” asked Mr. McCue impatiently. “I told the delivery guys to take it back,” replied Mrs. McCue. “What!!! Why on earth did you refuse the delivery!?” Said her husband angrily. “For three reasons,” explained his wife. “Number one: it was so big, and heavy, and clunky. Number two: the rug on it was green, but our carpet is red, so the colors clash. Number three (and this is the main reason I sent it back): It had six large holes in it, and I wasn’t about to accept delivery of damaged merchandise which you had told me cost us a lot of money,” stated Mrs. McCue logically. “But it was meant to be that way!!!” shouted her husband. What was the piece of furniture Mr. and Mrs. McCue were discussing?
Answer: A new pool table.
