Speaking of Riddles - Here's One
Fellow travelers, an itch I'd like to scratch with you:
'His corpse was riddled with bullets' is a real head-scratcher.
Does it imply that either the corpse or the bullets were body-snatchers?
I know. I know. I'm supposed to picture lots of bullet holes in his corpse.
But why 'riddled?' What's the puzzle here?
I don't get it. Maybe you do. If so, please leave me a note, my dear.
