All our house numbers are painted on the driveway curb. Wouldn't have got that riddle in a million years.

He bought nails. Minimum to buy is $1, at 100 you get a price break to $2, and 87 nails doesn't get that price break.

That's not something around the house. Boo!!!

I thought 87 for $2.00 had to do with gas..a gallon of 87 octane for $2.

And who has 6 digits in their address anyway
