Sorry I haven’t written for a while, my birthday was on election day and I was busy with that. Now here’s a riddle:

Brad stared through the dirty soot-smeared window on the 22nd floor of the office tower. Overcome with depression he slid the window open and jumped through it. It was a sheer drop outside the building to the ground. Miraculously after he landed he was completely unhurt. Since there was nothing to cushion his fall or slow his descent, how could he have survived the fall?

Joke: Crazy Millionare July 17, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — Shannon @ 12:50 pm

A businessman walks into a bank in San Francisco and asks for the loan officer. He says he is going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for such a loan.

So the businessman hands over the keys to a Rolls Royce parked on the street in front of the bank. Everything checks out, and the bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. An employee drives the Rolls into the bank’s underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the businessman returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.

The loan officer says, “We are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled.

While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is why would you bother to borrow $5,000?”

The businessman replied, “Where else in San Francisco can I park my car for two weeks for $15 bucks?”

 

Puzzle #2

Filed under: Uncategorized — Shannon @ 12:43 pm

Below are four (4) questions and a bonus question. You have to answer them instantly. You can’t take your time, answer all of them immediately. OK?Let’s find out just how clever you really are.

Ready? GO!!! (scroll down)

First Question:

You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?

Answer: If you answered that you are first,

then you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second!

Try not to screw up in the next question.

To answer the second question, don’t take as much time as you took for the first question.

Second Question:

If you overtake the last person, then you are…?

Answer:If you answered that you are second to last,

then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?

You’re not very good at this! Are you?

Third Question:

Very tricky math!

Note: This must be done in your head only. Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.

Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Add another 1000. Now add 20.

Now add another 1000. Now add 10. What is the total?

Scroll down for answer.

 

Did you get 5000?The correct answer is actually 4100.

Don’t believe it? Check with your calculator! Today is definitely not your day. Maybe you will get the last question right?

Fourth Question:

Mary’s father has five daughters:

1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono.

What is the name of the fifth daughter?

 

 

 

 

Answer:Nunu?

 

NO!Of course not.Her name is Mary. Read the question again

 

 

Okay, now the bonus round:There is a mute person who wants to buy a toothbrush.

By imitating the action of brushing one’s teeth he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.

Now if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself?


 

 

 

 

 

He just has to open his mouth and ask, so simple.

This will keep you busy for a while, trying to outsmart your foot, but you can’t.

1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number “6” in the air with your right hand.

Your foot will change direction. . . . . . and there’s nothing you can do about it!

A paige walks into a round castle to deliver a message to the king, but when he gets there he finds the king is dead. The paige is curious so he investigates who was doing what in the timeframe that the king was killed in to see if he can figure it out. It couldn,t have been the queen because she was taking a nap, it couldn’t have been the maid because she was sweeping the corners, it couldn’t have been the prince because he was riding his horse, it couldn’t have been the princess because she was at a sleepover. The paige knows he himself didn’t do it and that the king didn’t commit suicide. He goes over what everone has said he realizes who killed the king and dashes off to call the police. Can you figure it out? If you think you know write your answer in the comments, i will write the person’s username who got it right in the next post and there will be a new joke, puzzle, or riddle.

Have fun!

 

Lipstick in the Toilet Story

Filed under: Uncategorized — Shannon @ 9:48 pm

According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington was recently faced with a unique problem.  A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That in itself was fine.  But after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints. Every night the maintenance man would remove them and the next day the girls would put them back. Finally, the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian, who had to clean the mirrors. She asked the maintenance man to demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors. He took out a long handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet and cleaned the mirror with it. Since then there have been no more lip prints on the mirror.              

      I know it’s kinda gross, but it’s interesing!
