"There are three words in the English language that end in -GRY. Two are HUNGRY and ANGRY. The third one everyone uses every day and knows what it stands for. If you listened carefully, I already told you what the word is. What is the third word?"
The answer: language |
There are like 10 variations on this riddle. All of them stupid |

It's particularly terrible because it falsifies itself. There are not three words in "The english language that rhyme with -gry". And while there are three words in "The english language", they do not rhyme with -gry. Written it is further deceiving, since the lack of quotation marks (that would give it away) make it completely ambiguous.
Stupid riddle. |
