0 Guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I think you're mistaken here. NO JEST, and NOT welcome at the funeral. this is a very serious matter, we are talking about here ha ha, I like to way you think but it is both and I'll even offer you alternative lines (changes nothing but reads better maybe) read it like this if you like Except at a funeral, I am a welcome guest Although those who truly want me, Leave little room for jest now its both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Silence? Except at a funeral, I am a welcome guest. (silence means people have nothing to say about you) Those who want me, honestly, Leave little room for jest. (people who want silence usually won't be in the mood to joke) Though I am worth a bundle, I do regret to say, No one yet has beaten mine, in cheaper ways to pay (Silence is golden and it costs nothing) I agree with mav's answer, is it right?

0 Guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 so, are we saying: "something" valuable is a cheap way to pay? So cheap in fact, that you don't pay it at a funeral? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I don't know why, but "Thank you" is jumping out at me. It fits a few lines. Can be said in jest, but it would be said at a funeral, but in the capacity of "thank you for coming" I dunno, just spitballing here. Eh???

0 Guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I don't see how a job is a wrong answer. 1) If your job is to organize funerals, no one wants you over too soon. 2) If you want an honest job, you can't fool around. 3) A job is worth all your money, because that's how much it provides. 4) It is the only way for paying expenses (for most people at least).

0 Guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Eh??? no but this is EXACTLY the type of something we are looking for why not try to solve all but funeral I put funeral in first line to make it harder not easier, if it was the last line... you would perhaps only modify your answer not change it That qualifies as MAJOR CLUE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No because that's many answers not one 1. funeral director 2. honest job 3. job worth a lot (are they all? does this stand for you?) 4 job that pays bills - ok - but how is working the cheapest way to pay and pay for what btw? so your answer varies to cover the riddle. we need one answer. simple answer.
