I NEED MORE ABOUT BOS WELL - solve a riddle part two

[Bamchicabaawaa]

I have just read forty pages of thread and it’s almost full! Let us congregate here for answers!

Would anyone like to know why a raven is like a writing desk instead

Lewis Carroll does give a (lame) answer to this in one of his prefaces, though he admits it's an answer after the fact and the riddle had no original answer.

Instead of why Boswell’s nickname and whatever building he’s approaching is so funny

"Instead of why Boswell’s nickname and whatever building he’s approaching is so funny"

Indeed Valenta, but I thought it was appropriate :). There was no answer, so he had to backwards engineer one, and now that’s the answer.
A bit like Boswell really. There was no answer, and now we’ve got loads of them!

Late to this thread whoops

Doesn’t appear I’ve missed any big reveal though

I don't know of any other jokes that require the jokee to supply a punchline though.

WHY AM I STILL CHECKING FOR UPDATES, MY LIFE HAS BEEN SUCKED INTO A VORTEX

@SonOfSaturn Dumbledore whats?!!!

Dumbledore dyes his beard purple for Harry's graduation.

Sorry for the scary autocorrect. He definitely doesn't die!! hahahahaha... ha

I would prefer to know why is a toasting fork.

Please fill this thread up with place marking like the ones that people actually find useful, then it can die a death along with all the other useless ones.

They both have legs

Oh I know that one! I'll tell you if you can tell me why the memory we used to share has its world rocked by trees (or cars).

Y is a toasting fork.

I like that one! I will take the satisfaction of the toasting fork one and use it to replace the abject misery that this whole Boswell incident has brought into my life

How many letters are there in the answer to this question?

Toasting fork one is very good 👍

Four?

Well done dogz! That had me baffled for ages when I heard it

I don’t get the toasting fork.

Cos a toasting fork and the letter Y are same shape

Y is a toasting fork
See I got that straight away!

I don't get @Dairyqueen2 's one. Now that's 2 riddles that are going to plague me 😩😩

Littlepotatoes - I simply couldn't get my head round it until someone told me the answer. Basically, the question could be reframed as 'Which word representing a number contains the same letters as that number?" but putting it the way I asked makes it more brainy!

...the same NUMBER of letters as that number

Sorry - that wasn't helpful!!

Thank you!

See @killingtime9198, that's how it's done! Easy!

My dad used to always say/ask 'What would you rather bee or a wasp?'
