Because except in Wisconsin, a mixed marriage between cheese and woman is illegal.
I didn't know that, April. Thanks for the information. Let's look for some other answers, too.
Because he melts when he's in love......because he's cheese.
I think it's interesting that you guys still think the moon is made of cheese. An amusing answer, Matt. Just not the one I was looking for.
Because he's green with jealousy.
More cheese answers...hmmmm...
Because he's blue and saw me standin' alone.
Without a dream in your heart? Without a love of your own?
Because he has a record for lewd behavior after he was caught mooning. No woman would have him then.
I never considered the moon's posterior before, April.
Because he's so self-centered. Get it? He spins around. And, then, when he's not spinning, he's revolving around the earth. Who can compete with that?
This is an interesting thought process, Sam--the idea of the moon as an unfocussed narcissist.
Because he's FULL of himself.
Close, Mark.
Because he hits your eye like a big pizza pie.
We have a very musical group today--filled with cheese imagery.
Because he eclipses the sun.
Clever, Gene.
Because most of the time, he's only a QUARTER or HALF interested... :)
Shawn--you're very close. So, I'm going to call this week's riddle to a close.
The answer is...
"Because he gets only a quarter a week and he needs that to get full."
Thanks everyone! And, congratulations to Shawn!
