Hopefully the topic is self-explanatory.

What time is it when the elephant sits on the fence?

time to get a new fence.

Why do birds fly south in the winter?

So they can fly north in the summer.

why do you have to go to bed?

Ah, finally a forum for all my jokes about the sweds!!! How do you get a one armed swed down from a pole?

wave to him.

@DJ - I was going for "it's too far to walk".

I've seen bluegirl's in another forum so I will abstain.

@RW - Ask the Pole to put him down?

lol

bluegirl is correct!!!

What do you get if you cross a vampire with a snowman?

a vampire made of snow

either that or you take it literally using stoker's vampires and you have a pile of ash and a smug snowman.

frickin' hilarious!

Hmm, was looking for "frostbite"

noone even tried to guess mine.

to get some sleep of course

and no matter what you say, mine is still true

close.....but.....no

not silly enough....

I dont know about you, but thats why I go to bed. enogh said!

because the bed doesn't come to you.

yes!

Well, I bet Henry Ford could have created a bed that comes to you. At least he managed to get things come to him all by themself.

I was going to say that you have to go to bed because your parents are sleepy.

In the same way as you have to put on a jumper because your parents are cold 

why does the swedes have empty coke bottles in their kichen?

because that is where they drank them?

No, he keeps them in case he gets guests who are NOT thirsty

HAHAHAHAHAAH

Oh dear...

Why was the belt arrested?

Why was the belt arrested?

It kept holding up pants.

why didn't the skeleton go to the party?

I'm sure everyone know elephant jokes?

whoa....you scared me!

hahahaha Really??

What does Tarzan say when he sees a herd of elephants in the distance?

yeah......i hit send....and there you were.....

why can't an elephant ride a bicycle?

why didn't the skeleton go to the party?

Cos it wasn't dressed?

nope.

ummm.....

The skeleton did not go to the party because it was D.E.A.D. (can it be more obvious )

nope.

so the skeleton is alive

it's a kid's joke.......yeah.....if it weren't for this little problem......he'd be partying away....

well in that case, it did not go to the party because then everybody would be afraid of him and run away (poor skeleton)

lol.....nope.

So did the skeleton disguise itself or were the other participants skeletons aswell?

Because it wasn't a Halloween party?

you guys are giving it too much thought......it's simple and punny.......

The Skeleton did not go to the party because it did not want to? (thats probably the most obvious reason sombody would not go to a party. If they were alive, anyway)

actually he did want to......it's kind of a sad answer........depending on how you read the pun...

they would not let him in?

nope.

technically.....if we were speaking in real life terms......he would be able to go anyway......it's sort of a social thing......again...depending on how you read the pun....

So did the skeleton disguise itself or were the other participants skeletons aswell?

i don't think other skeletons.......no

it's sort of open-ish....because of the pun....

wow.....maybe i should've offered points for this one.

i thought everyone would know this.

well, I am getting into my solving riddle mode over here, trying to figure out questions.

try to only think of language......it really is a pun....

lets say he's a little shy.......maybe insecure......

what would he feel he'd need to go to a party?

yeah, so he did not want to go?

a partner?

alchohol?

he could not get drunk because everything went right trough him?

one of those answers is getting there.....

and the other is another favorite joke of mine:

a skeleton walks into a bar and says to the bartender, "give me a scotch.........and a mop"

did the skeleton feel he needed to be drunk?

no.......that's my favorite joke.....

the other one is getting close to the answer.

so he needed a friend to go?

dang, I did not think childrens riddles was this complicated! grrrr

you are very close.........phrase it differently......

He didn't have anybody (any body) to go with him?

yes!...

he had no body to go with......

A lawyer would probably know a pun about habeus corpus to go here (translates to have body), but I can't think of anything

well i don't think habeus corpus really fits into a children's riddle topic.......

Good gosh!!

hehe, I would never have figured that out

i love that joke.

It was a good one

so....we still have two elephant riddles.......

Elephant riddles reproduced below:

What does Tarzan say when he sees a herd of elephants in the distance?

why can't an elephant ride a bicycle?

why can't an elephant ride a bicycle? because they are to heavy would be the most logical answer (inteligence would also have something to say of course)

thanks dj......i was trying to do that.....for some reason...i am unable to copy right now.....

and too lazy to type.....at least fast enough......you got to it first...

red wolf....no

this one is very silly....

Tarzan would probably say, ugh ugh

Nope!

dang

"many big fat things with long noses" aaaahhhh

Well, the elephant cant ride a bike because he would destroy the bike

"hey cheetah......look....a herd of elephants"

sorry, no......not because he would destroy the bike.

Elephants can't ride bikes because they can't hold the handlebars?

dj....you are very, very close......

so you are saying that the elephand would NOT destroy the bike?

Are we talking about a normal bicicle here?

not saying that........it's just not the answer to this riddle...

yes.....a normal bicycle......with accessories.....

**big hint**

These are childrens' riddles.  They don't make sense - they are plays on words.

the elephant cant reach the pedals?

this one is not even a play on words.....just silly....

red wolf.....silly.....but not correct....

his trunk gets in the wheels

again.....silly, but wrong.

He forgot how? (very silly, and very, very wrong)

dj.....you are right......

really?

very silly and very, very wrong....

lol.

Bluegirl - "hey cheetah......look....a herd of elephants"

Yesh!!

Now, What does Tarzan say when he sees a herd of elephants with sunglasses?

That answer was at least three different kinds of wrong.  I was trying to construct the worst possible answer.  How is it correct?

"hey cheetah......look....a herd of elephants with sunglasses"

yay!

dj.....it's wrong.....

you were correct in saying that it was very, very wrong.....

did you miss my second post?

sorry.....

Red Wolf - Nope!

"Wait, elephants dont need sunglasses, do they?"

@bg I was taking wrong to mean sick/demented/twisted rather than incorrect. English is a fun language, isn't it?

Red Wolf - Nope again!

@dj......i'm lmao.

"I wonder why those elephants are wering sunglasses"

Nuh-uh

"Hey look! Democrats Republicans!"

HAHAHAHA

Very funny, but no

lol

"cheetah....a herd of elephants....and i think they're headed for the beach"

"Oh my God, I've never seen such big sunglasses before"

oops.  Democrats are the donkey.  I am such an ass. :{

Double entendres are fun!

"Look sunglasses, lets steal some"

lmao!

you guys are cracking me up.....

hey dj.....where are you from?

No no no!

"Ouch, stupit elephants, dont step on me!!!"

I'm from all over the US: California->Virginia->Texas->California->Colorado

hahaha No....

currently in cali?

i mean colorado...

dek....why are you angry that we can't figure out a very silly riddle?

heheheh Not angry....

Just adding for effect

"I wonder what that is" *pointing towards the sunglasses

A silly riddle needs a silly image!

LOL!

RedW - nada

"Cheetah, I think we should hide, those elephants looks scary"

"Look Cheetah, some silly looking elephants"

"Oh, no, it's the EIB (Elephants in Black)!"

lol

"Cheetah, dont you think those elephants are kind of sexy?"

or "cool"

hahahahaha

You guys are creative, I'll give you that!

"Cool, Elephants" (thats a play on words )

I am also kind of wondering where you guys are from. I know bluegirl is from NY/AR, but what about the rest. Where do you guys live?

Sydney

okay, cool

I am originally from Norway, but lives in California

"Wach out, blind elephants"

"Wach out, blind elephants" - me likey

HAHAHAHAHA

That makes a great answer, but not the one I'm looking for

"Cheetah, dont you think elephants look a bit silly in sunglasses?"

that gotta be it

"Cheetah, I dont see a thing. Its to much sun"

Not it!

The answer is really silly

so my answers are not silly enogh yet? hmm

"I want one of those" pointing at the sunglasses

hahaha no

"Cheetah, dekrazee1 said the answer was really silly. Do you think really silly could be the actual answer?"

"Cheetah, I dont know what to say. What would you say if you saw a bunch of elephants with sunglasses?"

"hey cheetah.....how would i look in those sunglasses?"

@bg: on the bicycle: If elephants can't ride bikes, can they ride cars?

maybe elephants can't ride bicycles because they don't have enough trunk space.

lol........nope......

i gave a big hint above.......

lol

The elephant cant ride a bike cuz its wearing sunglasses (maybe it is blind)

"Cheetah, look, a heard of elephants that cant ride bikes"

lmao

is there something special about the bike?

"Cheetah, where did all the elephants go?"

*its to sunny to see them maybe*

Oh! I thought the bike one was solved!

nope....

i wouldn't say there is something special about the bike.....but not every bike is like this one....

or should i say.....equipped like this one......

so there is something about the equipment. Or some equipment some bikes hav but some bikes have not?

Because the bike doesn't have training wheels?

The elephant can't operate the brakes?

lol, good one

Speedometer?

Gears?

Backpack?

Backbrakes?

Training wheels?

Somthing else?

The horn?

They don't have thumbs for the bell?

dek....has it!

exactly!

thats a good one

bravo!

YAAAAY!!!

Finally! hahahaha

We were about to completely dissect bikes!

ok, now back to the tarzan one

does he mention the sunglasses?

Good question!

No

this is so funny.......who'd have thought that you could dissect a children's joke like you do an adult riddle?

does he mention the elephants?

hehehe yeah!

thats true, hehe

does he mention the elephants?

No

"cheetah......do you realize how sunny it is?"

does he mention the sun?

No

and No

does he mention anything ralated to blindness, tan, to be cool/sexy, etc.

Ummm... no

Okay, give up?

"aaahhhhhh.......ahhhhhhhhahahhhhh"

(tarzan yell)

Nevar!

HAHAHAHAHA

And no blueg

So he does not say anything at all that is related to what he said earlier?

Lets solve this the adult riddle way

Ummm.... no

hmm, it sounds like he got mute

did the elephants scare him to the point of muteness?

You're kinda on the right track, but not quite

really???

hmm, is he mute?

he does not say anything at all then

(I mean, that would be the answer if he was mute)

Exactly!!!

He doesn't say anything - He doesn't recognize them.

Okay,

What does Tarzan say when he sees a herd of giraffes in the distance?

He doesn't recognize them? eh, why? because of the sunglasses?

Eh, does he regognize the giraffes???

lol!

I can't answer that... I guess not

hmm, he must be color blind or something, or the sunglasses must be enormous (even bigger than the elephants)

does he seen the giraffes?

Yup!

but he does not recognize them?

"Are you the elephants I saw earlier?"

I don't know. That's what I mean when I say I can't answer that. It's isn't obvious

and no

Does he say something to Cheetah again?

Oh, doesn't matter if cheetah is there or not.

So he does not talk to Cheetah? Does he talk to someone else? The giraffes? the elephants? is he trying to find the elephants?

hmm, I am taking this childrens riddle far to serious

GAH!

It doesn't matter...

The question is - What does Tarzan say when he sees a herd of giraffes in the distance?

That's about it.

hahaha Yes!!

does he say something?

Sure does!

ahhhhh, maybe I'll have to sleep on this one . Yes, I am taking this riddle far to serious, but its deffinitly not an easy one

hehehe It's not an easy one.... it's a silly one!

"Why are those trees moving?"

"Look! Giraffes!"

nice guess
