A rich man's son was kidnapped. The ransom note told him to bring a valuable diamond to a
phone booth in the middle of a public park.
Plainclothes police officers surrounded the park, intending to follow the criminal or his messenger.
The rich man arrived at the phone booth and followed instructions but the police were powerless
to prevent the diamond from leaving the park and reaching the crafty villain.
What did he do?


The kidnapper didn't need to do anything, he was the rich man's son himself. He simply took the diamond, and left the scene with his father biggrin

A magician announced that he would walk across the surface of a lake without the aid of anything.
The following Sunday, he did. How?


Really, I've been looking at this riddle for a few days, but couldn't see the obvious answer, until I got outside today... brrrrr

The magician could even have worn skates if he wanted, because it was winter, and the lake was frozen over.

Perhaps the bird COULD talk, there's no way to know. But you can be sure it couldn't HEAR. The parrot was deaf!
