I'd have to go with his mother's second cousin next door neighbor
but I'm probably wrong
could be his room mate

I should know better than to try to solve a riddle half asleep! ;D Now somebody 'splain it to me - I still can't figure out how it's himself. I should stick to crossword puzzles...  Thanks Gary - was fun! (if not confusing!) |

Ok I'll see if I can shed a little light on this. Before, you didn't know he was looking at a picture of himself - now you do - so look at it from that perspective. He says brothers and sisters (he) has none This mans father (his), is his fathers-------- son.
Clear as mud?? The first time I heard it, I also kept saying ;its his son. Think it thru
Food for thought today

 sheesh - back to crossword puzzles for me! Some food for thought back at you Gary - couldn't the picture then be of anyone? Feel free to set me straight if I'm wrong - I just have fun with these things.  Always amuses me when you can take a set of words and interpret them so differently depending on where you put the emphasis. As you can see, I love riddles but they drive me crazy till I figure them out - LadyB was about the death of me!

Technically, it could be either himself or his son, the way it's worded. My first though was that it was himself, but then I thought that was too easy, must be his son.
One of these days I'll see one of these before it's over!

it CANNOT be himself. THE SON is the correct answer.
try googling the phrase and read online - only correct answer is the son.
