Very clever. Loved it!

Thanks, Jake and Alice (even if you say this about everyone, Alice!!
). It just came to my mind one evening and I thought it cute and quick!


That's very clever.
That was tricky, but I liked it!
Wow that was pretty good. It did trick me too!

Very good! I would never have guessed it.

Very clever, I liked it. Didn't get it, but I still like it.

Sorry, didn't care much for this one.

NICE!!!


Wow, that never even entered my mind. Great teaser, keep em comin!


This made know sense at all. How could come on live Braingle with this senseless
Teaser.
I scored you high, for having the Gaul.
Good Work. I was waiting for this fantastic answer, and BAM.



Who are We? ok, ok, I did like DoNor... I think...
I am not thinking

Riddle well written! 4.5/5*
haha!!! nice!

Good one.
Personally, I think it works just as well as a statement about the chaos of our culture which has even affected our eating habits. Most of the time food is thrown out of a drive through window in a robotic, impersonal, inhuman manner, shattering the idea of the nuclear family and saddening our mothers that worked so hard to raise us in a loving environment. But if you take the time to walk into a place and enjoy the food socially, you'll be living again.
lulz. jk.
lulz. jk.
Wow, Fermats - I never thought I could be so philosophical! You must be one of those guys who writes reviews of abstract art!!
AND you make a great point about society.

Very clever and enjoyable. Did not get it , but it still was a good one.

Really liked it, I did not come up with the answer but once I saw the answer it made perfect sense. Those are the best ones. Now off to see if I can stump others with it.
I LOVED this one! Very clever - thanks!


Haven't changed my mind since 2009.
Terrific teaser. Well written, makes perfect sense, and a great sense of wordplay. I don't often comment, but this one deserves it. Great job.
Loved it!
Well, i almost got it. I assumed it was 'Letter'. The lette rbeing thrown out of the window would leave a grieving wife, because the letter could be of a dead husband at war.
If the letter is coming throught the door, then new life could be that letter was a college acceptance letter, making ay for a better life.

My English teacher in fifth grade gave this teaser to us. It took us almost a week to figure it out! Ah, nostalgia.
great teaser.

Clever teaser. I didn't remember it, but I see I commented on it in 2012.
Happy New Year everyone!
Happy New Year everyone!

I like this riddle a lot. It is clever and well written with just enough abstraction to make it fun to solve, but not impossible. Really well done. This goes into my favorites.
I think I ended up realizing what both words were before I actually got it right.
Which I didn't end up doing later.
That was a great teaser! Thank you!
