They would be blue, as I'm the driver.

If I have the ball and I pass to "Music Mole", and then he passes it to "NoMoreSanity", who, being the clutz that he is, drops the ball and it rolls to the feet of Max_The_Reaper, who kicks it to Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, who finally deflates the ball with his cynical attitude and deathlike stare.
Three and half weeks later the ball is re-inflated by a small child who cherishes the ball until his dying day.

Who would have the ball?
(sorry for the probable grammar mistakes in that sentence.)

As we test its mettle, within it there is "rust"

Trust.
Oh, please don't let me be ninja'd, I got this one so fast.

Edit: I looked through the first several pages of this thread and no one seems to have gotten the motorcycle one. Since I've heard it already, here you go:

The man was cheating at cards, so one of the other players killed him. "Motorcycles" is actually synecdoche for the design on the cards, of which there are 52 in a deck. This joke is typically told with bicycles instead, since that's a design that commonly appears on playing cards.

There was a man who was born before his father, then killed his mother, and married his sister. Everyone thought this was normal. How is this possible?

Interestingly enough I was asked a load of riddles today. Here are the ones I remember.

A man attempts to marry his widows sister, is this legal? Yes, unless he didn't officially divorce with the woman's sister beforehand.

In a bungalow, everything is painted purple, the windows, the floor, the curtains, everything. What color are the stairs? Do bungalows even have stairs?

How many pairs of animals did Moses put on the Ark? Moses?

Is there a 4th of July in Britain? Naturally.

How many months have 28 days? One. No wait, all of them.

The maker doesn't want it, the buyer doesn't use it, and the user doesn't see it, what is it? Don't have a clue.

No doubt the intelligent members of the Escapist will know the answers instantly =P, but it was worth a try.
Answers in bold.

Now here's another:


A horse is attached to a 15 foot rope, and there is a bale of hay 25 feet away. The horse can still reach. How does it do this?
Depends. Is the rope attached to anything else, and is that object between the horse and the hay?

If yes to both questions, then the horse can reach because he can access 15 feet around said unknown object, so one end of that circle to another end is 30 feet, and if the horse is on one end, he can still reach the hay, because it's 25 feet away, and he can reach 30.

It may help you out if you change motorcycles to bicycles.

I build bridges of silver and make crowns of gold;
They are the smallest you will ever see in the world.
When many people think of me they actually shiver;
Yet to see everyone smile is all I really desire.
Who am I?

there are fifty two cards to a deck.
I'm assuming he cheated at something, or at least that it's card related.

I have two:

A man lives in a hotel, and everyday he gets the lift from the top floor (20th) to the bottom, and goes to work. However on the way back up after work he only goes to the 8th floor, and walks the rest of the way.

You are in a room, n which all the walls facing south. Out one of the windows you see a bear, what colour is it?
the second one is white because your direcly at the north pole (since all walls are facing south)
