Nah, I thought of that Mark. "3" is not a word, it is the literal symbol of a digit value, whereas "three" is definitely a word.
 
I found a few:

Gotta love google. :D But it is a trick question, as no three commonly used words end in GRY.
 
aggry

\Ag"gry\, Aggri \Ag"gri\, a. Applied to a kind of variegated glass beads of ancient manufacture; as, aggry beads are found in Ashantee and Fantee in Africa.

Mr. TODD1 has actually told this old riddle incorrectly.

The correct wording is:

Angry and hungry are two words that end in '-gry'. There are three words in the English language. What is the third word? Everyone knows what it means and everyone uses it every day. What is it?

The answer is: Language.

Read the riddle carefully, perhaps outloud. Pay particular attention to the punctuation.

The original riddle is supposed to contain apostrophes around "the English language;" thus language being the answer to this particular version of the riddle.
 
Damn guys!! I couldn't think of any??? Well since that one was told wrong heres another one.
"How far into the woods can you walk".Doesn't matter how large or small the woods are. :p

Ok, here's one. Kinda corny, but very real in my line of work. You find yourself in an enemy minefield. How long do you have to get out?

The rest of your life :D

I heard it as: When you're jumping and your main chute fails, how long do you have to deploy to reserve chute?
 
I hate riddles, I suck at them. I never get them. That part of the Hobbit with Bilbo and Golem, I'd have just cut the bastard and been done with it. That whole riddle thing pissed me off. ;) It is wierd though, I love puns, double entendres and plays on words. I do appreciate the cleverness of a riddle, after I'm told the answer. It just pisses me off that I never figure them out.
