Title: Sometimes White, Sometimes Black
Post by Freddie on Dec 8^th, 2002, 9:59am

I am sometimes white and sometimes black,
I'll take you there, I'll never bring you back.

I just cannot get this...

Hint (highlight area below to see):

never bring you back = death

Willy Wutang's all-purpose limousine!

Did the Godfather show up at your wedding? Doesn't that always happen at the most inconvenient time? Now instead of going to the airport, you're going to the morgue!

Good thing you hired Willy Wutang and his all-purpose limousine! At the touch of a button, it converts from a white wedding limousine (complete with wet bar) to a black funeral limousine!

Only $999.99 ... but you'd better hurry, 'cause Willy is already booked up for April and May!

Actually the answer is Willy Wutang's all-purpose limousine :)

hearse ( P ) Pronunciation Key (hûrs)
n. A vehicle for conveying a coffin to a church or cemetery.

They only come in colors of black or white, as far as I know.
Coffins are often a brown wooden color.

This riddle seems to be a little culture specific. All the hearses where I live are solid gold with all kinds of sparkly motifs.

Anyway, even when I was in the USA, I never saw a white hearse.

Yeah, that'd be a hearse of a different color. :D
