Question–answer
Often posed as a common riddle, the answer is twisted humorously.
Q: What is black and white and read (red) all over?
A1: A newspaper. (The oldest and most common answer, because red
is also the pronunciation of read; this class of joke works
only when spoken aloud so that which homophone is meant is
misconstrued because of the inclusion of other colors. This
is also related to Word play.)
A2: An embarassed zebra. (This is funny primarily because most
people are familiar with the older joke and expect the
interpretation to be "read" rather than "red." It is one of
the most common "twist" answers, because it's one of the few
G-rated ones. See Why did the chicken cross the road? elsewhere
on this page for more instances of the same phenomenon.)
A3: A bloody skunk. (A penguin, a nun, or any likely wearer of a
tuxedo can also be used in place of a skunk. Also "sunburnt"
can be used in place of "bloody.")
A4: A blind nun trying to read a cheese grater. (This is a less
tasteful variant on A2.)
A5: A Goth on her period.
...and so on.
Of this type are knock-knock joke, lightbulb joke, grape joke,
Radio Yerevan, and some jokes of other types described here.
照這英文解釋看來，的確就是在講笑話，並不會很嚴肅啊。基本上這是一個
玩弄同音字的雙關笑話。問題腦筋急轉彎的關鍵字當然就在那個「read」跟
「red」聽起來發音相同。
what is black and white and read (red) all over?
（譯壹：什麼東西是黑白相間而且被廣為閱讀的？）
（譯貳：什麼東西上頭覆蓋著黑白紅三種顏色？ ）
第一種解讀方式，答案是「報紙」。不過顯然不會是指全彩印刷的蘋果日報。
第二種解讀方式，除了曬傷的企鵝，還有害羞的斑馬、流血的臭鼬、月經來潮
時的歌德裝扮少女等（上面原文中 A4 的「試著閱讀削乳酪器的盲修女」我也
不解其意...orz）。嗯，還有貓熊。
問題問完之後，通常人們會有點半信半疑地回答「是報紙嗎？」聽到答案宣布
是「曬傷的企鵝」，雖然人們多半大概都會像 Michael 或 Walt 的反應一樣：
「厚～這答案很蠢欸。」可是這種架構在既有制式答案上的變體趣味其實又蠻
可愛的。不是嗎？ :p
