Once, again, Mr. Punch, with my help, is offering up a true Victorian riddle. The first person to answer correctly--by posting in the comments--will receive public congratulations. Some week, I may offer a nifty prize from our online store. But, this week, again, I don't feel like it.
So, here's this week's riddle. We ask that you don't Google the answer. Mr. Punch would not find that sporting at all. Give it a shot and see what you can come up with. Here we go... No cheating...

Always classy.

Well, why not?

If wishes and buts were clusters of nuts, we'd all have a bowl of granola.
Penguins.
That makes as much sense as bees.
A rock.
Well, no.
For Pity's Sake! That "well, no" was from me. You see, folks, this is the sort of day, week, month I've been having! Grawr! (a noise of frustration)
