I have streets but no pavements
I have cities but no buildings
I have forests but no trees
I have rivers yet no water

What am I

A riddle.

I know it's a riddle. Can you solve it??

I know. I found the answer in 5 seconds by Googling. Have you tried that?

A map

Good one would never have thought of that you legend thanks a mill

A map

I once met a man on his way to st ives
Who told me that he had seventeen wives
And each of his wives had seventeen sons
And each of those sons had seventeen brides
How many people were going to st ives?

Um... Die Hard with a Vengeance!!

One... just the man was going to St. Ives

You're in a room, and you have only one match. In the room is a candle, a gas stove, and a gas heater. Which item do you light first?

The match... lol

Light the match, then the candle

New one.
3 men in a boat after being shipwrecked
They have nothing
No clothes
No possesions
Just two cigaretts.

All three men want to smoke the cigarettes, what do they do?.

Sail home? They can't light the cigarettes anyway..?

Nope ha ha, they have no way to get to dry land, they're going to die.
So what do they do?

I don't but here's one.
What would you do if you were locked inside a car and all you had was a bat . How would you get out?

What kind of bat?

Baseball bat sorry

Well... you could use the bat to smash a window, but that would cause damage to the car... I guess I'd prefer to just unlock the door since I'm inside the car, and let myself out.

Yep your pretty smart

How about this one, imagine your in a car travelling over a hundred miles an hour. Your heading toward a cliff and your brakes go out what do you do?

Lol... I'd stop imagining

Wow not your average bear

They throw one of the smokes overboard

Their boat becomes one ciggarett lighter

And then they all die? That's not very satisfactory, I'd keep the boat as a boat. And strictly the boat is still the same weight so...

It doesn't transform dufus, it's a play on words.

Ha ha... okay.. you got me on that one... I was thinking they had no boat, but went back and re-read... duh

I don't understand this one:

New one.

No clothes
No possesions

I am a little dim.lol

A cig lighter... get it... a lighter to light their cig... it is a play on words... like the boat got lighter in weight... but it means "one cigarette lighter" literally... get it now? They can light the cigarette... yes, it was corny... but we love corny!

Hahahahaha

Haha oh aye now I feel stupid.lol Thanks for that!lol And yes, very corny!!
