Not sure if this belongs here
but it don't seem to belong in jokes or quizzes somehow
So mods feel free to move it:)

A man sitting in a pub,feeling rather poor.he see's the man next to him pull a wad of 50 pound notes out of his wallet.he turns to the rich man and says "i have an amazing talent"i know almost every song that has ever existed,the rich man laugh's,the poor man says.i am willing to bet you,all the money you have in your wallet,that i can sing a genuine song with a lady's name of your choice in it,the rich man luugh's again and says,ok how about my daughters name,joanna armstrong-miller...the rich man goe's home poor,and the poor man goe's home rich!!...WHAT SONG DID HE SING??????

There is a common English word that is nine letters long.
Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter.

What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?

🙂

I'll give you a clue. It begins with 'S'. You only need to find the other 8 letters now.:005:
