Who is it that rows quickly with 4 oars but never comes out from under his own roof?

A man comes upon a bridge that he must cross. The maximum capacity of the bridge is 200 lbs and he can only cross once. His weight is 198 and he's carrying 3 canisters at 1 lb each. 201 lbs would collapse the bridge, but he crosses the bridge with all three canisters successfully. How did he do it?

Empty out the canisters and cross with them?

Oops, I didn't read the riddle closely enough.

[Cue circus music] He juggles the three canisters as he walks across. One is always in the air so his weight, with canisters in hand, is never more than 200 lbs.

Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word?

I guess this depends on how you would have said the question out loud because there are actually more than three words in the English language that end in "gry."

And your post says there are only three words in the English language which is false.

The third word in your post is words.

Incorrect. Nice try though.

Very good Sir!

Be honest, did you Google?

Dude.... it's "language". He asks "what is the third word in the american language".

Another one:

When you walk by it you wouldn't buy it. But when you do buy it you wouldn't use it. When you do use it, you wouldn't know that you're using it. What Is It?

Nope. I learned to juggle back in the mid '80's with some friends. We used it as a way to relax and socialize. It popped into my mind the moment I read the riddle. I had no idea if it would be the "correct" answer.
