Q. Lovely and round,
I shine with pale light,
Grown in the darkness,
A lady's delight.
What am I ?
A. A pearl. They're formed in clams, which are of course dark.
Q. What has a tongue that can't taste, a throat that can't swallow, eyes that can't see and a soul that will never die ?
A. A shoe. It has a tongue, a throat, eyes (or eyelets) and a sole. I used soul here or else it would have given the answer away, but this riddle works best when told rather than read. And as the joke goes, old shoes never die, they just lose their sole.
