 >>> Richard Meic on Instant Riddle 
 CH>>> No more so than any other, but fortunately about six of one and
 CH>>> half a dozen of the other!  :)
 WE>> Riddle of the day:  When is a half dozen more than six?
 RM>> Half of a "baker's dozen"?  6.5
 WE> Correct.  Now my bitch littered my home with a baker's half dozen.
 WE>  How many pups were in her litter ---
 RM> Six live pups and a stillbirth?  I do not see how one can get a "half"
 RM> pup.
Simplistic answer tho similar to mine.  The dead pup wouldn't count anyway, 
now would it?  My answer is six pups and a non-surviving pup, perhaps 
premature.  Now, Mr. Wise Guy, CH he up and thought him a real smart answer.  
Six pups born and a seventh stuck in the birth channel hanging halfway out.  
As he put it, six and a half at the moment.  As I'd put it, six and a half 
and still counting.  Hasn't he topped us?
... Cheers for the New Year!
