It was announced yesterday that this weekend was the first time in history more people stayed up until midnight to make sure the year 2020 ended than did to welcome 2021. As one man said, “When I saw the ball drop at Times Square it reminded me of more than what we’ve done in the past year than the start of the New Year!”
So, we begin this New Year on The Saturday Funnies with some 2021 riddles to get you off on the right foot:
RIDDLE NO. 1 – A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50." The boy looked around and saw no scale, so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less. In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?
