==============================
Remember asking these Questions (answers will be in the next message) :)
 
1. The maker doesn't want it; the buyer doesn't use it;  and the user
doesn't see it. What is it?
 
2. A child is born in Boston, Massachusetts to parents who were both
born in Boston, Massachusetts. The child is not a United States citizen.
How is this possible?
 
3. Before Mount Everest was discovered, what was the highest mountain on
Earth?
 
4. Clara Clatter was born on December 27th, yet her birthday is always
in the summer. How is this possible?
 
5. Captain Frank and some of the boys were exchanging old war stories.
Art Bragg offered one about how his grandfather led a battalion against
a German division during World War I. Through brilliant maneuvers he
defeated them  and captured valuable territory.  After the battle he was
presented with a sword bearing the inscription "To Captain Bragg for
Bravery, Daring and  Leadership.  World War One. From the Men of
Battalion 8."  Captain Frank looked at Art and said, "You really don't
expect anyone to believe that yarn, do you?"  What's wrong with the
story?
 
6. What is one thing that all wise men, regardless of their religion or
politics, agree is between heaven and earth?
 
7. In what year did Christmas and New Year's fall in the same year?
 
8. A woman from New York married ten different men from that city, yet
she did not break any laws. None of these men died and she never
divorced.  How was this possible?
 
9. Why are 1990 American dollar bills worth more than 1989 American
dollar bills?
 
10. How many times can you subtract the number 5 from 25?
 
11. A taxi driver was called to take a group of passengers to the train
station. The station is normally an hour away, but with traffic being
extra heavy, it took a full hour and a half. On the return trip the
traffic was still as heavy and yet it took only 90 minutes. Why?
 
12. How could you rearrange the letters in the words "new door" to make
one word? Note: There is only one correct answer.
 
13. Even if they are starving, natives living in the Arctic will never
eat a penguin's egg. Why not?
 
14. Which is correct to say, "The yolk of the egg are white" or "The
yolk of the egg is white"?
 
15. In Okmulgee, Oklahoma, you cannot take a picture of a man with a
wooden leg. Why not?
 
16. There were an electrician and a plumber waiting in line for
admission to the "International Home Show". One of them was the father
of the other's son. How could this be possible?
 
17. After the new Canon Law that took effect on November 27, 1983, would
a Roman Catholic man be allowed to marry his widow's sister?
 
More next time...
And then next week, the answers and credit to the person I got this from.
 
 
Regards,
 
Roger
