RIDDLE

THE QUESTION IS ASKED: HOW MUCH DOES THIS FIFTY POUND BAG OF
COFFEE WEIGH?

Submitter comment: THE ARTICLE IN THE FREE PRESS STATED THAT AT THE VAN SHOW AT THE
SILVERDOME, THERE WAS A BOOTH WITH A BIG BAG OF COFFE AND A BIG
SIGN WHICH ASKED THE QUESTION. THE QUESTION HAD ANSWERS RANGING
FROM 20 TO
300 POUNDS. THE ARTICLE WENT ON TO SAY THAT MANY PEOPLE INSISTED
ON LIFTING THE BAG.
