"Questions:"<br /><br />1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose<br />between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the<br />second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the<br />third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which<br />room is safest for him?<br /><br />2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him<br />under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him.<br />But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy<br />a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?<br /><br />3. There are two plastic jugs filled with water. How<br />could you put all of this water into a barrel, without<br />using the jugs or any dividers, and still tell which<br />water came from which jug?<br /><br />4. What is black when you buy it, red when you use<br />it, and gray when you throw it away?<br /><br />5. Can you name three consecutive days without<br />using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,<br />Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?<br /><br />6. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how<br />quickly you can find out what is so unusual about<br />it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was<br />wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is<br />unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you<br />still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it<br />a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any<br />coaching!<br />__________________________________________________<br /><br />You all think about them and I will give you the answers this afternoon. ;)

SBN, kinda early to think but here goes,,,,<br /> :) <br />#1 is the room with assassins, unless they're after him he's safest there. <br /><br />#3 pour the water from jug one in the barrel, empty the barrel, then pour in jug 2, now you know which water came from which jug.<br /><br />#5 is likely yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Re: Tuesday Humor(Questions)

Well, I will go ahead and give you all the answers right now.<br /><br />"Answers"<br /><br />1. The third. Lions that haven't eaten in three<br />years are dead.<br /><br />2. The woman was a photographer. She shot<br />a picture of her husband, developed it, and hung<br />it up to dry.<br /><br />3. Freeze them first. Take them out of the jugs and<br />put the ice in the barrel. You will be able to tell which<br />water came from which jug.<br /><br />4. The answer is Charcoal. In Homer Simpson's<br />words: "hmmmm...Barbecue. "<br /><br />5. Sure you can: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow!<br /><br />6. The letter "e", which is the most common letter<br />in the English language, does not appear once in<br />the long paragraph.

Re: Tuesday Humor(Questions)

I got them all for a change, lol<br /><br />but I like brain benders .... heres one<br /><br />a bookkeeper was thinking of words that had two doubled letters consecutively <br /><br />and he had come up with a few<br /><br />baLLOOn<br /><br />baRROOm<br /><br />he needed one more, and thought and thought and thought ...<br /><br />began mixing the consonants and vowels into increasingly complex patterns, till finally he came up with baSSOOn (its sorta like an oboe only two octaves lower)<br /><br />by now, his brain was just about fried, but now he had to come up with a word that had THREE consecutive double letters<br /><br />hours and hours he tried, but to no avail<br /><br />Disgusted, he got drunk and went to bed<br /><br />Can you think of a word like that?<br /><br /> :confused:
