Well, I've resigned myself to the fact that the last Riddlers thread is pretty much dead. *Wipes away a tear* But I'm determined to keep posting riddles in the hope that someone will actually answer one of them. Once again, here's the last riddle I posted:
There are a certain number of hogs and sows in a sty. Each hog can see the same number of sows and other hogs. Each sow can see twice as many hogs as other sows. How many hogs and sows are there in the sty?
And here are a few more so you can pick and choose:
A man walked into a bar, and before he could say a word, he was knocked unconscious. Why?
A policeman was walking past a house. He heard somone cry, "Don't shoot me, John! Don't shoot!" There was one gunshot. The policeman entered the house and saw a lawyer, priest, and an engineer, gathered around a dead body. The priest was immediately arrested. How did the policeman know who to arrest?
Removing an appendix is called an appendectomy, removing tonsils is called a tonsillectomy. What is it called when they remove a growth from your head?
A man walked into a bar and asked the barman for a glass of water. They had never met before. The barman pulled a gun from under the counter and pointed it at the man. The man said "Thank you" and walked out. Why should that be so?

Thank you Grubs, knew I could count on you. ;D
2. Yep, but the answer is a bit more than that.
3. Nope. But it was still obvious that it was him.
5. Neither, sorry. (Though B was one of my first guesses!)

No. Think about why someone might need a glass of water... other than the obvious.

The man was falling asleep and he needed someone to wake him up?

No, but keep thinking along the same sort of lines... The bartender noticed something wrong and seeing the gun fixed it...
I'm gonna put up a few more soon as I find my puzzle book. (See, I'm always losing the books I actually need. Sigh.) Oh, and anyone can post riddles here, okay?

*Looks stern*
Witchy, have you heard that one before?
Hehe, j/k, congrats.
Anyone else got one to fill the gap while I search frantically for my lateral thinking book?
