Hey, you heard this one?
Bet you won’t get it.
I love riddles, me.
OK, here we go.
What walks on four legs in the morning?
Two legs at noon
And three legs in the evening?
Go on, have a go:
You’ll NEVER guess it.
Nobody ever does.
…What?
Yeah. Yeah it’s “man.”
How the hell…?
I would have thought the fact that a man’s life isn’t literally the length of a single day,
and a walking stick isn’t literally a limb
Would throw you off.
But no. You got it.
Well done, Oedipus,
(You motherfucker.)
