    Start with some easy ones

    1) Do they have a fourth of July in England?

    2) How many outs are there in an inning?

    3) Whats the answer when you divide 30 by 1/2 and add ten?

    4) A clerk in the butcher shop is 5'10" tall. What does he weigh?

    5) How many months have 28 days?

    6) If you had only one match, and entered a dark room containing an oil lamp, some newspaper, and some kindling wood, which would you light first?

    7) If Mr Smith's peacock lays an egg in Mr Jones' yard, who owns the egg?

    8) Mrs Brown's bungalow is decorated entirely in pink. The carpte, lampshades, ceiling, walls etc are all pink. What colour are her stairs?

    9) What do you sit on, sleep on, and brush your teeth with?

    10) What is the maximum number of times a normal sheet of (news)paper can be folded in half by hand?

    ------------

    More later.

    If your answer is correct, then the entire question (#7) is defective.

    #9 is too obvious for anyone to answer, so I'll let you guys suffer. Just quit thinking so hard and the answer(s) will be obvious. [​IMG]

    Sorry, bobrek. I was called away in the middle of typing my last response - hence the lag time between our posts.

    Here is an old one-

    If a plane full of Europeans crashed on the Texas/Mexico border, where would they bury the survivors?

    I'm a waiter, and I'm not too fond of Europeans. You can bury the survivors in Mexico, that would be fun.

    Here is a dumb one too, but I bet nobody will get it...

    You are in a room with a ceiling, floor, and four walls. There is a mirror in the room. There is also a table in the room. All the walls, ceiling, and floor are Connected and painted white. The walls, celing, and floor are impenetrable and cannot be destroyed by you, busted through, or what have you. You are blocked inside with the items in the room. You've got to find a way out. How do you get out of the room?

    You look in the mirror and 'saw' yourself. You get the 'saw' and cut the table in half. Two halves make a 'whole.' You put the two halves together to make a 'whole' then you climb out the 'hole'.

    I love that one!

    Nice guys finish last ... and im surely not going to finish last!
