Riddle: Mike, Jack, and Jim were triplets. When they were ten a mysterious lady gave them each tickets and said they were time tickets good for a round trip to any time and place.

After that he traveled forward 10 mins to the present time. 10 years later Mike used his ticket to travel 30 mins into the past to try and stop a car crash that killed his girlfriend. After he did that he realized he lost his ticket so he just let time catch up to him. 12 years later Jack used his ticket to travel exactly 100 years into the future to see how far tech has advanced. after spending a year in this time he goes back exactly 100 years back into the present. Who is the oldest sibling now?
Answer: Mike, because he went 30 minutes from the past and let time catch up while the others traveled back to the present. Therefore he is older by 30 minutes.
Riddle: Ralph is a very controlling person who totally dominates his partner, Sam. When Sam is in Ralph's presence, Sam is never allowed to speak, eat, or drink anything without Ralph's permission. Perhaps this is because Ralph is 6 feet six inches tall, and Sam, being less than 5 feet tall, is intimidated by Ralph's stature. Whatever the cause, most people hearing these facts would think this situation is nearly criminal; but not Sam. In fact, there are certain times when Ralph gives him permission, that Sam speaks some very sarcastic words right to Ralph's face, and sometimes even verbally abuses Ralph. In retaliation, Ralph once again silences Sam, deciding when and if Sam should ever be allowed to speak. Ralph, when in the presence of others with Sam, appears to put on a good front by putting his hand on Sam's back, hoping to show his friendship and concern for Sam. Why hasn't anyone called DCFS on behalf of poor Sam --- and what about Sam's right to free speech; or are things not quite what they appear to be? Just what is going on here?
Answer: Ralph is a ventriloquist, and Sam is his dummy.
