    The first is needed to make quotes you see,
    And it often sticks up when it's time for noon tea.

    The second's biggest distinction is found
    Bearing the symbol of love that is bound.

    The third should be biggest but that can depend,
    Never standing alone or it may offend.

    The fourth is oft used when making a selection
    Or if you should need a gun for protection.

    The fifth is the fattest and oddest by far,
    And can sometimes be found in a wrestling war.

    What are they?

      I have never heard the riddle until now and honestly some change is needed on this forum as some of the posts are repetitive and boring so who cares about this one it is a simple riddle. smile

      Fine! I won't be as involved in forums anymore...

      I'm not sure what #1 is, but I think #2 is a brown egg and #3 is a pistachio nut.

        curio has seemed to hit it on the nail...but I think he is probably one of those very intelligent superfreaks or something

    Think I've worked out the Riddle Asher, from AEvans.

    I might even use it as an ice-breaker at work sometime.

    Nice one.
