Skipping Rocks
Tom puts a coat on, walks outside, and marvels at the colors on the snow. Beginning to get bored, Tom decides to skip rocks at the nearby pond. He finds a rock, throws it, and it stays on top of the pond, not going down. How?
Answer
If it's snowing, then it's probably cold enough for ice to form. And ice is still water.Hide Answer Show Answer

Yeah this one is fun - easy but good!!
Ice is a solid, water is a liquid, got it right away, easy, but if you made it lnger it would have been better because it wouldn't have bees SO obvious.
I thought you were going for the hceesy pumice angle in so many teasers that I seem to have failed to really see the teaser. Good Job, you got me.
that was great! most ppl here think 2 much for the teasers. a easy one like this loosed me up =)
nice and easy, thanks
kinda obvious,but fun
seems as you said snow, it was obvious
Cool as cool as ice
IT WAS HILARIOUS
How many times did it skip?
I guess not at all, it just landed on top of the pond.
that was really easy. do I really want to know how snow got to be different colors??
I thought it was pretty easy but it was confusing at first
brr! don't mention ice! i'm in michigan and i'm FREEZING!
That was so easy! When ur from a cold state any one like that will be super easy! GOOD TRY THOUGH!
[i DID get it, though... ]
it COULd be plumice a rock that floats
Makes sense.
well i never
I guess since I live in Phoenix and we don't have snow, I didn't get it right away. ha ha

Ok...REALLY obvious.
Cute!
Thank yoou for everyones' comments! And I'm sorry if it did not appeal to some.
Way 2 EZ
Well that's too bad. Where are your teasers?
Really cute teaser...But the answer refers to ice still being water when "water" was never explicitly stated in the teaser - only "pond" was. Oh, and what were the colors in the snow from?
tecknically i got that one right but that was because i read this joke b4 on another site and technically i got it wrong cause when i first read it i got it wrong so u decide which one is right or .... wrong... im confused ... oh well... hi ppl!!!
You hinged your answer on "probably," so you can't be sure. Poorly done.
So, Hrsemn4, where are your perfect teasers?
This teaser was way too easy.
QQQQ, you can't just keep asking people "Where are your perfect teasers?" That's rude, and one of those users you said that to could turn out to submit a ton of teasers.

It'd be a lot harder if he didn't mention the snow at all; it was a bit ez this way.
I'm just curios how you would wrtie without the snow?
"QQQQ, you can't just keep asking people "Where are your perfect teasers?" That's rude, and one of those users you said that to could turn out to submit a ton of teasers."
More importantly, I don't see why someone has to write "perfect" teasers to see flaws in another one.

I thought he was near a volcano and the rock was pumice.... then after hearing the answer I thought, who tries to skip rocks on ice?
