You saw me where I never was and where I could not be. And yet within that very place, my face you often see. What am I??


Probably wrong, but is it the face of a man that you can see on the moon?

What's black when you get it, red when you use it, and white when you're all through with it??


Coal?

The further you wander, the more you leave behind.

What gets wetter as it dries?

A woman bought an item and then used it for the opposite of what it was designed to do. (there are a few possibilities)

A cowboy rode into a town on Friday, then left 4 days later on Friday. How?

What goes up and down stairs without moving?

I have holes in my top, bottom, left and right, but I still hold water. What am I?

The man who invented it doesn't want it. The man who bought it doesn't need it. The man who needs it doesn't know it. What is it?
