Piggybank?

Stationery supplies?!

Did we get stuck?

Err…. a ruler??

**Posted by besleybean** July 3, 2014 8:20 pm

Heck I forgot all about it!
No, it's flat...

**Posted by Russell** July 4, 2014 4:27 am

Flat? A ruler's flat! Hrrm… knew that answer didn't sound right, anyway.
Trying to think of office supplies, and probably staring me right in the face.
Nnn…. and keep trying to think of different ways such an item would be punched or thick…

One of those plastic sheet dividers you can put in binders? Sometimes have a slot, or thick.

Sorry on the ruler, thing!
I'm not entirely certain it's the same thing.
But seeing as I'm going on holiday, today.
Yes:
I mean ' poly pockets'.
Which at work we have either the ' punched'(holes down the spine) or
'thick' which are slightly bigger snd more sturdy.

Yes! I meant those. (we have them in varying forms)
Tricky tricky. How about another, you guys? Typical rhymey style mystery description again.

I stare at you, you stare at me.
I have three eyes, yet can't see.
Every time I blink, I give you commands.
You do as you are told, with your feet and hands.
What am I?

A GPS?

**Posted by SebbyM** July 4, 2014 7:22 pm

A traffic light??

**Posted by Russell** July 5, 2014 5:42 am

Yes, Sebby!

**Posted by SebbyM** July 5, 2014 6:54 am

Yeah!

I am everywhere and everyone knows me but as soon as you say my name, I am gone. What am I?

**Posted by besleybean** July 5, 2014 7:26 am

Silence?!

**Posted by SebbyM** July 5, 2014 7:45 am

Correct

**Posted by besleybean** July 5, 2014 8:36 am

What flies forever but rests never?

**Posted by SebbyM** July 5, 2014 9:27 am

Wind?

**Posted by besleybean** July 5, 2014 8:42 pm

Yep!

**Posted by Russell** July 8, 2014 7:04 pm

Did you have any other good ones, besley? Or enjoying your trip?
How about another in the meantime?

Give me food, and I will live.
Give me water, and I will die.
What am I?

**Posted by SebbyM** July 8, 2014 7:24 pm

A flame or just fire... .?

**Posted by SebbyM** July 8, 2014 7:27 pm

Love this one :
With pointed fangs it sits in wait, with piercing force it doles out fate, over bloodless victims proclaiming its might, eternally joining in a single bite. What am I?
