Hello all.
I'm fairly new to Sleuth and I thought I might share a little hobby of mine with you all. Here's something for that sad moment when the mysteries of the day are all done.

Thousands lay up gold within this house,
but no man made it.
Spears past counting guard this house,
but no man wards it.
What is it?

Or maybe he took part in a tickling competition where the winner was the one who could stand being tickled the longest before laughing :D

Or, maybe the competition is a joke competition.

It was a race, the human race. He was the first to start (be born ou tof this siblings), and so presumed he'd be the first to finish (die), and so when he came in third he was amused for the reason that he'd outlived his siblings... that's too morbid and convoluted to be the right answer.

Maybe it was alook alike competition and he was the person they were meant to look like, and he entered and came third, that would be amusing...

Secret Squirrel takes the cake. He must have had Morrocco helping him. :p

This actually is a true story. Charlie Chaplin entered a look a like contest for himself, and placed third.
