This was sent to us by an o'Gills member..
Of course we got none of the answers right....see how many
you can spot
Also we will be offering a monthly prize for the best joke.poem..short
story that you wish to send to us...anyway, on with it...
A simple way to lose your marbles..
Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As
we grow
older, it's important that we keep mentally alert. The saying; "If
you don't
use it, you will lose it," also applies to the brain, so.... Below
is a
very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence. Take
the
following test and determine if you are losing it or are still "with
it."
OK, relax, clear your mind and... begin.
1. What do you put in a toaster?
Answer: "bread."
If you said "toast," then give up now and go do something
else. Try not to
hurt yourself.
If you said, "bread," go to Question 2.
2. Say "silk" five times. Now spell "silk." Now
What do cows drink?
Answer: Cows drink water.
If you said "milk," please do not attempt the next question.
Your brain is
obviously over stressed and may even overheat. It may be that you need
to
content yourself with reading something more appropriate, such as Children's
World."
If you said "water," proceed to question 3
3. If a red house is made from red bricks, and a blue house is made
from
blue bricks, and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house
is
made from black bricks, what is a green house made from?
Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass.
If you said, "green bricks," what the devil are you still
doing reading
these questions?????
If you said "glass," then go on to Question 4.
4. Twenty years ago, a plane was flying at 20,000 feet over Germany.
If you
recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany
and
East Germany. Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines failed.
The
pilot, realising that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides
on
a crash landing procedure.... Unfortunately the third engine fails before
he has time to attempt an emergency landing, and the plane crashes smack
in
the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West
Germany. Where
would you bury the survivors? In East Germany or West Germany or in
"no
man's land"?
Answer: You don't, of course, bury survivors.
If you said ANYTHING else, you are a real dunce and you must NEVER try
to
rescue anyone from a plane crash. Your efforts would not be appreciated.
If you said, "Don't bury the survivors," proceed to the next
question.
5. If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60 of a degree every minute how
many
degrees will the hour hand move in one hour?
Answer: One degree.
If you said, "360 degrees" or anything other than "one
degree," you are to
be congratulated on getting this far, but you are obviously out of your
league. Turn in your pencil, and exit the room.
Everyone else proceed to the final question.
6. Without using a calculator-You are driving a bus from London to
Milford
Haven in Wales. In London, 17 people get on the bus. In Reading, six
people
get off the bus, and nine people get on. In Swindon, two people get
off and
four get on. In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get on. In
Swansea,
three people get off and five people get on. In Carmathen, six people
get
off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven. What was the
name of
the bus driver?
Answer: Oh, for crying out loud! Don't you remember? It was YOU!!
Well how many did you get...????????????
So to finish this month's letter a joke from one of our younger
