Time to get thinking! This is the RIDDLE CONTEST!!!!  ;) :)
Here's how it'll work:
I will post a riddle and you will try to solve it. In that same comment, you will post your own riddle and the next person will try to solve it. The next person will also have a riddle in that same comment. Also, when you solve the riddle, post an explanation for why you think that is the answer! This is a new rule, so know one has to modify their comment and put an explanation, but I want everybody to do this in the future! And it goes on and on. Please participate and have fun!  :D  Also, please don't use Google or look it up in some other way. However, if you want a hint, you can PM the person who made the riddle.

Here's my riddle:
A man was at a bar feeling poor. He sees a rich man take $50 out his pocket to pay the cashier. The poor man says to the rich man "I know all the songs known to man." The rich man laughed and said,"I bet you all the money in my pocket that you can't sing a song with my daughter's name in it, Sarah Lee Greyson." The poor man went home rich and the rich man went home poor. What song did the man sing?

Answer: 98 years old.

My Riddle:
A man worked at a high security institution. The man tried to log into his computer and the computer denied the password. He then remembered that the passwords to the computers were reset every month for security reasons. He called his boss for his new password.

The man said, "Boss, my old password is out of date."

The boss said, "Yes, it is. The new password is different, but if you listen closely you will be able to figure out the new one. Your new password has the same amount of letters as the old one, and four of the letters are the same."

The man then logged into his computer with no trouble. What was the new password? What was his old?

Old password: Out of Date    New password: Different      (answering because nitrox had to leave)

*note: I'm typing this riddle according to memory so it might be worded a bit weirdly*

The father of two brothers, Bob and John, passes away. His will states that whichever of the brothers' horses reaches the next town last will receive the father's wealth. So John and Bob wait and wait in the town that they're in.  Suddenly John gets on a horse and bolts to the next town as fast as possible. He gets the money. Why?

John rode to the town on Bob's horse.

Five hundred begins it, five hundred ends it,
Five in the middle is seen;
First of all figures, the first of all letters,
Take up their stations between.
Join all together, and then you will bring
Before you the name of an eminent king.
[Insert deep and philosophical statement here.]

Answer to previous riddle: Storm clouds (or just clouds in general)

Riddle:

Two spies want to get in an enemy's military base.In order to get in they have to give the correct countersign to the guard at the gate after he gives them the sign. So they wait hidden nearby the gate so that they will overhear the countersign from another soldier.

One soldier comes and the guard gives the sign: "6". The soldier answers "3".The guard lets him pass. Another soldier comes. The guard says "12" and the soldier gives the answer "6". The guard lets him pass. So, the first spy goes at the gate and the guard asks says "10". The spy, sure that he knew the answer as he was, says "5". Immediately, the guard shoots him dead.

Then the other spy, who saw that the other spy was killed when he gave the countersign, had now understood what the right answer would be, whatever the guard's sign was. So, he walks to the gate and the guard says "8". The spy gives the correct answer and the guard lets him in. What was the answer that the spy gave?

Answer to previous riddle: 5

Explanation: The countersign is the number of letters in the number provided by the guard, so when the guard says 10, the answer is 3 since t-e-n is 3 letters. [I'm going to start posting my answers with explanations for those who do not understand the riddle and to show that I understand the riddle...yeah, I love riddles....]

Riddle:  A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?

Answer: The man said, "You'll sentence me to 6 years in prison."

Explanation: If that statement was true, the judge would have to make it false by sentencing him to four years in jail. If it was false, then the judge would have to sentence him to 6 years in jail, which would make it true. Instead of contradicting his statement, the judge set the man free.

My Riddle: A woman was halfway up an escalator when suddenly she began to weep. Why?
Hints: She had a husband and she was at the hospital.

Answer: The husband is in intensive care or in the middle of a surgery. And the power goes out so the wife knows that her husband just died. So she starts weeping.


Riddle: A thief enters a shop and threatens the clerk, forcing him to open the safe. The clerk says, "The code for the safe is different every day, and if you hurt me you'll never get the code". But the thief manages to guess the code on his own.
