I thought of this one as I was walking to the supermarket, and I think it works. Probably been watching too much Bennett Cerf lately, but he’s becoming a great favorite of mine. Here goes:

A group of men inside a courtroom.
All happen to be… uh, rather well-endowed.
What would they be called?

I’m sure someone here can figure it out. If you do, please use spoiler tags in your comment?

And what are your favorites?
(either self-created or by others?)

EDIT: Couple downvotes in, and they seem to be negative. So… people on Lemmy hate riddles, I take it…?

    You would like Blane the Train in the second of King’s _Dark Tower _ series.

    He’s sentient hypersonic train (monorail if I remember correctly) left over from a fallen but very advanced society, and our Gang of Merry Heroes must answer his riddles to stop him from jumping his track and killing himself (and our Gang of Merry Heroes).

    Edit third book: The Wastelands.

      In terms of a game situation, my first introduction was the Hobbit chapter “Riddles in the Dark,” in which Bilbo trades riddles to save his life. I read that long ago and it made a big impression on me!
