Thursday Morning Riddle

I’m the money you put up to get out of jail;
To abandon a plane when the engines all fail;
To make plans to meet up, but then later turn tail;
And when boats fill with water, you might grab a pail!

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Asher. See comments for answer.

    Bail

  2. Rebecca Says:

    Hi Bill! It is me Rebecca from Albright…and I knew it was “bail” before I looked at Asher’s response, but he wins anyway.

  3. Bill Says:

    BAIL is correct. Way to go, Asher!

    Welcome, Rebecca! It’s very exciting to have you visit, considering you were there when I first became a “Shakespeare Teacher” so many years ago.

  4. Rebecca Says:

    It is nice to be here…you have such a lovely blog. I wonder if Victor (I think it was Victor) ever got to play Hamlet?

  5. Bill Says:

    If Victor was 11 when he played Antipholus of Syracuse for us 20 years ago, he’d be 31 now. Dag!

  6. Rebecca Says:

    Yes, Victor is old, however we have miraculously retained our youth and are also 31…weird.
