Bingo.
Throw away the outside and cook the inside, then eat the outside and throw away the inside. What is it?
What is always in front of you, but can’t be seen?
When you stop to look, you can always see me. But if you try to touch me, you can never feel me. Although you walk towards me, I remain the same distance from you. What am I?
A man goes out for a walk during a storm with nothing to protect him from the rain. He doesn’t have a hat, a hood or an umbrella. But by the end of his walk, there isn’t a single wet hair on his head. Why?

No idea yet. Is this a dinkum food or a play on words?
You know I prefer numbers to words.
The Future? A tax bill?
A mirror?
He was walking around inside a building, like a big shopping centre. Or on a walking machine whilst watching Telly like I did. A Gym?

A Roast Chook from Coles in a roasting bag.
Throw away the bag after the cooking of what's inside it, namely the hot Chook.
Cut away the juicy roasted flesh to eat leaving the inside of that, namely the Chook's carcass to throw away. Simple.

Still thinking... My shadow?

Was it a Dust storm?? An Electrical storm? A Financial storm? A Meteor storm?
🌩🌪Edward De Bono, an early proponent of Lateral thinking, said something like "don't assume restraints to problems unless they're specifically stated."
Latitude.... indeed.

A corn cob mate. I struggled with this too.
The Horizon. This was a tuffie too.
Good guesses. Mate the man is totally bald, a chrome dome.
When you look into theses riddles you can see how uncomplicated the answers are when you think outside the box.

For sure but word puzzles often tax me. I'd play scrabble well only from a numerical scoring perspective that annoyed my dear old mother in law.
A deserving Matriarch I admired.
For over a decade I was a volunteer companion for an old friend with brain damage and having coffees at a big local cafe he'd do the crosswords with little help from me. His long term memory was excellent.
As you know I love my story telling and through that, and time for forums my word smithing has greatly improved, I thunked.
I really enjoyed our Tall Tales.
Fancy a dystopian 2050 world?

Fair enough Craig. Good memories though of our adventures.
An old mate studied a BA and a lecturer once asked
"Why is a mouse when it spins?"
It was a weird question looking at language structures, I think?
It went over my head, especially the answer:
"The higher the fewer!"
To me it was ineffable. Still No idea.
I will try to coax Jessica to play. PM.

Who made these quotes?
1. One of the best things that ever happened to me is that I am a woman. That's the way all women should feel.
2. People started saying she was a lesbian. I smiled. There's no wrong sex if there's love in it.
3. Dogs dont bite. Only human beings.
4. Doesn't feel like spring. I feel like a red hot autumn.
5. Laugh when you're sad. Crying is too easy.
6. I want to grow old without facelift. I want to have the courage to be true to the face I've made.
7. Nobody said I was pretty when I was a kid. All kids should be told they're handsome, even if they're not.
8. A sex symbol becomes a thing. I hate to be a thing.
9. Being a sex symbol is a heavy burden to carry, especially when one is tired, hurt and bewildered.
10. It's better to be alone than unhappy with someone.
11. Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius. It's better to be ridiculous than boring.
12. Disappointments open your eyes and close your heart.
13. I'm a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.
14. Sex is part of nature. And I'm having a wonderful time with nature.
15. I've never left anyone I believed in.
16. I have never cheated anyone. Sometimes I let men deceive themselves.
17. If I had followed all the rules, I would have never gotten anywhere.
18. It's easier to love a man than to live with him.
19. Keep your head up, chin up, keep smiling, because life’s a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about..
