Can anyone help me figure out this riddle?
 
I know this is pretty bizarre starting a thread about a riddle, but I go into this sandwich shop to eat and study a lot and they have these riddles they call 'Riddle of the week." I'm pretty good at getting them, but this one lost me, and I've been dying to know what it means. Here it is:

A man arrives in town on Friday, stays three consecutive days, and leaves on Friday. How can this be?

Can anyone figure it out? :confused:

Friday is the name of his horse.

His horse's name is Friday.

I have another one. I was eating and studying at the same place again, and today's riddle stumped me too. Here it goes...."What gets wet as it dries?"

I would ask the people working there, but they won't tell me, because anyone who gets the answer wins a prize. I usually win, but I want another prize. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.:)

A towel. It gets wet as it dries you.

The man that makes it doesn't want it, the man that wants it doesn't use it, the man that uses it, does so without ever knowing.

What is it?

Ok...let's see if you get this one sands....

Father Bull and his 2 baby bulls get up at 6am go to the top of the hill, eats grass and comes back to the barn.

Mother Bull and her 2 baby bulls get up at 9 am go to the to of the hill, eats grass and comes back to the barn.

At sunset, Father Bull, Mother Bull and all 4 baby bulls all climb the hill, eats grass and comes back to the barn.

How many bulls are there total?

5. There is no such thing as a Mama Bull.

Though I'm even more inclined to say 3, because you would never see a bull with calves.

Or are you going by the capitalization in your riddle? Then 4.
