Recently, I flew AirAsia, Southeast Asia's leading budget airline, from Malaysia back to Thailand. It's only a two hour trip, but without any in-flight entertainment, it feels like an eternity. Desperate to pass the time, I resorted to reading (and memorizing) the emergency exit guide, the air-sickness bag, the duty free catalog, and eventually, the in-flight magazine. After reading it front to back, I, then, tried (and failed) to do the Sudoku puzzles. Finally, I decided to test my wits against their list of peculiar Riddles.
Some of the riddles were pretty straight forward, and for a moment, I felt smart.
- What can you catch, but not throw? A cold
- Why did the man throw the clock out of the window? He wanted to see time fly
However, some of them broke the well-established General Rules of Riddles
- Why can't a T-Rex scratch its back? Because it's extinct
- What did the table say to the chair? Nothing. Tables can't talk
And one riddle, in particular, made me question the decency of the publisher and AirAsia's management as a whole.
- What was Tigger looking for in the toilet bowl? Pooh
Of course, I got this one right.
