What goes up the chimney down but will not go down the chimney up?
my cheating by google tells me you got the riddle wrong: it's supposed to be "What goes up a chimney down but will not go down a chimney up?"
Ah yes. True.
This is a semi-ancient riddle, doubtless English in origin (although I do not have a clue about that, only a sensibility).Am I supposed to give you the answer HERE or should I let others continue to play with it? while I simply doctor it.
@Anon - you're welcome to guess here; I don't think you'll spoil it for anyone.
