Some of the best riddles are short enough to tell at the dinner table. This one is an old favorite:
What do you call a cow with no legs?
Think about the wording for a moment. It sounds like a question about an animal, but the answer is actually a playful food-related pun.
Riddle answer
Ground beef!
The joke works because “ground” can describe something on the ground and also refers to a type of beef.
This silly one-liner has been passed around for years because it’s easy to remember and usually earns a groan or a laugh. Try asking the question without giving any hints, and see how long it takes someone to make the connection.
