Why would there be ANY apples in a barrel of grapes ?

If there were any it wouldnt be a barrel of grapes. It would be a barrel of grapes and apples. Do you know the answer Immi666?

This is a well known "nonsense" riddle.
The traditional answer is .......


A meat and potato pie !

If you enjoy British humour eg. Monty Python, The Goons etc... Then I'm sure you appreciate it.

The way I head this 60 years ago is as follows:
If it takes a man a week to run a fortnight,
how long would it take to swim through a barrel of treacle with clogs on?
So the answer is obviously a lemon.
Explained: Suck it and see.
Meaning: If you waste your time on nonsence riddles you'll end up screwing up your face trying to make sense of them as you would if you suck a lemon.
