Quote:What opens like a barn door, looks like a bat, if you answer this riddle, I'll give you my hat.
Opens like "barn door", as in it phonically begins as such ===>
"bar"
looks like a bat, as in a bat's primary perceptual means (how it looks at things) ===>
"hearing"
Now stick that together with a Shakespearian caveman grunt: "Bar hearing!" (a demand to 'stop the sense of auditory perception')
And thus, you give me your hat to cover my ears. Well! it fits!
