h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

OK, two questions, since this seems to be the place to do it:
In the U.S. Military, when one dies, an American flag is presented, in a trianglular folded form, to the spouse or family of the deceased. Does anyone know the dimensions of this folded flag?

Second: There are three words in the English language (using US english as a reference, not knowing if this will work with UK) that end in "gry" Angry, hungry, what else?

Two honest questions. Someone asked me that sencond one a couple of months ago and I still don't know it.
Thanks!

The second one is an old joke.

Language.
There are three words in "the English language"

You should use the correct version.

Here is the riddle in its original form:

"Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There
are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is."

The "gry" thing started out as a genuine enquiry on the radio from someone who thought that there was a third commonly used word ending in gry. It was made by someone into the puzzle that Marjin quotes, but this is not the definitive original version.

In fact there are only two commonly used words ending in gry, but there are many obscure ones listed in dictionaries that end in gry.

Interesting, Marjin, but I've heard that even that "original" was not the original. The very first reference to this riddle was on a radio show and it was not phrased like that.
