=============================================================
The first riddle I ever heard, one familiar to almost
every Jewish child, was propounded to me by my father:
"What is it that hangs on the wall, is green,
wet -- and
whistles?"
I knit my brow and thought and thought, and in
final perplexity
gave up.
"A herring," said my father. "A herring,"
I echoed. "A herring doesn't hang on the wall!"
"So hang it there." "But a herring isn't green!"
I protested. "Paint it." "But a herring isn't
wet." "If it's just painted it's still wet."
"But -- " I sputtered, summoning all my outrage,
"-- a herring
doesn't whistle!!"
"Right, " smiled my father. "I just put that in
to make it
hard."
