go ahead melvin. this war will probably never end. maybe it's cool to redo it next year when we are all a year smarter  :biggrin:
and it was getting an agressive tone and that's not really good, we want to keep it friendly, so we'll stick to the riddles from now on

k thanks.

so it starts:

On an extremely hot day, a cowboy decides to go to a bar(pub) and have some drinks before he can get back on his horse and go home.
So after having kept his horse, he goes to the bar and spends 3 hours in it where he has drinks and rests.....

But when he arrives outside he doesn't find his horse!!! So he takes out his belt and smashes it to the ground, it made noise but no one paid attention..... So he took his gun out and fired a shot in the air!!!

Everybody looked, scared that he might kill them.... a little boy of age 8 asked the man what his problem was, he said he can't find his horse and fired again and said " don't make me do what my father did when he lost his horse!!!!"! 

so the boy said " ok ok i'll give u back your horse but promise u won't do what u intend to!"

after he got the horse he climbed on it, thanked the boy and went away, but some metres away, a drunk guy asked " what did ur father do???"

so now this is the question: what did his father do?


it's very very easy

[NMelvynN]

[NMelvynN]

k i'll give u guys the answer:

the cowboy was drunk but not that much so he knew he wouldn't hurt people and he didn't, but he mentioned he'd do what his dad did....then a guy asked him what his father did....

now remember the cowboy was drunk so he was behaving strangely at first....now the answer to the question is:   

"well dude, i had no horse to ride on to go home, so what do think he did?  he walked home of course!!!!!!!!!

the answer is - he walked home
