Speak Without Sound (A Riddle)

You may find us on a ship
Or sometimes in your pockets.
We speak without sound;
Our language is universal.
We carry around ten nails,
Don't need a hammer,
Although we could use one.

    Congrats to you and a definate high five as you nailed this and the other two. Very nice, and there seems to be a trend that has been started regarding new clue (looks right and left), but that's cool too! Best regards!

    I don't know if you can handle this or not, but I do believe I've gotten three in a row. How about a high five?

    Hey Uba, thanks for all your comments and applauses, and because you have been so kind, sweet, and so inspiring (my most unrelenting fan and with so much wit and humor), I am giving you all my applauses tonight). You and your kingdom, or Ubdom, is a very good space,an enchanting idea (when you're much older these memories will be special and endearing, so stay true), that gives me much laughter and oh how I wish a certain someone could witness this. Thanks so much and best regards, always, David

    Lol, I'm going to sound like an old lady saying this, but going back and reading these reminds me of the specific inconvienient moment when the right answer finally popped to mind. This one we thought we had (it really was a good guess) but when you told us we were wrong it took us quite awhile to get the right answer. (I got it first, hahaha to Ubi!) Yet another great riddle, cool story behind how you started the riddle empire, I will have to go find those who got you on this addicting habit and thank them profusely.

    Damn you are good! This was the first riddle that i ever wrote. I was teaching in a prison and the guys asked me if i ever wrote a riddle. When i replied that i hadn't, they challenged me and so, voila. I was amazed at the interest that they showed trying to solve it; it was as if they were trying to unlock the chains of they're souls, and searching for some temporary redemption. Peace and thanks for the comment and correct answer, you are now free,lol, avi
