OK, I have another one.

If you have only one match and entered a dark room containing an oil lamp, a newspaper, and some kindling wood, what would you light first?

-- (Netsc@pe 6.0), August 22, 2000.

1. Moses didn't take any animals into the Ark; it was Noah.

2. The match :-)

OK smarty pants :-) How about this one?

If you drive a bus with 42 people on board from San Francisco to LA, and drop off 3 people at each of six stops and pick up 4 people at half the stops, when you arrive at LA 10 hours later, whats the drivers name?

-- (Netsc@pe 6.0), August 22, 2000.

"hmm"

Or in Patricia's case, "Patricia."

-- (hmm@hmm.hmm), August 22, 2000.

Alright, you guys are good. How about this one?

A farmer had 17 sheep. All but 9 died. How many did he have left?

-- (Netsc@pe 6.0), August 22, 2000.

The fun didn't last nearly long enough. :(

-- Debra (Thisis@it.com), August 22, 2000.

9.

Here Deb, this one's just for you...

(Please, everybody let Deb answer OK?)

A plane full of English tourists flies from California to New Texas. It crashes in New Mexico. Where should the survivors be buried?

-- (Netsc@pe 6.0), August 22, 2000.

9 are left.

C'mom Nesc, hit us with hard ones!

-- (smarty@wannabe.one), August 22, 2000.

In England!

-- Debra (troll@stole.the.show), August 22, 2000.

Guess again ;-)

OK, smarty@wannabe. I have one more...

Is it illegal to marry your widows sister?

-- (Netsc@pe 6.0), August 22, 2000.

Not if the dead are allowed to marry.

-- (hmm@hmm.hmm), August 22, 2000.

lol, hmm. Not only are you good; you're quick.

-- (Netsc@pe 6.0), August 22, 2000.

survivors should not be buried, it's bad for their health

-- (wake@up.deb), August 22, 2000.

Where is New Texas? Is this what Bush is going to call our country?

-- (dont@like.it), August 22, 2000.

They should bury the survivors from Survivor Island.

-- (hmm@hmm.hmm), August 22, 2000.

Oh damn, Hmm, is this the only thread you're reading today?

Hit me with another one Netscape, I got sidetracked reading other threads.

I'll keep reloading this one to catch it before Hmm does :P

-- (smarty@wannabe.one), August 22, 2000.

Don't worry about it Deb. Some people have heard these brainteasers before.

lol! New Texas -- a country with Bushes. Maybe we can call the new country Tumbleweeds.(Just kidding. I have a great amount of respect for the Bushes.)

-- (Netsc@pe 6.0), August 22, 2000.

I have to get some work done, smarty@wannabe. I'll be back again another day.

Thanks for playing everybody!

-- (Netsc@pe 6.0), August 22, 2000.

c'mon, I'm waiting! Reloaded 15 times already :P

-- (smarty@wannabe.one), August 22, 2000.

Bah! :( I guess I won't be showing my smarts today again :(

-- (smarty@wannabe.one), August 22, 2000.

Now I feel bad, smarty@wannabe. I'll tell you what, how about we meet here again tomorrow morning and we can play word association? I'll throw out a word, and whoever wants to play tells me the first word that comes to mind. Best answers get a cyberdollar. ;-) How's that?

-- (Netsc@pe 6.0), August 22, 2000.

How's that?

Girl.

-- (hmm@hmm.hmm), August 22, 2000.

"hmm@hmm.hmm"

Brick.

An oldie but goodie-----

A man lives in a house. All four walls of the house face south. A bear walks by the man's house. What color is the bear? Why?

-- Lars (lars@indy.net), August 22, 2000.

It's a white, polar bear at the North Pole. :-)

-- Classic (oldie@but.goodie), August 22, 2000.

Okay, here's one:

A man and his son get up early to go on a fishing trip. On their way back, they are in a car accident. An ambulence is called, taking the wounded to a nearby hospital. The first emergency room doctor refuses takes a look at the boy and says, "Call another doctor, I can't operate on him because he is my son!" How could this be?

-- Tarzan the Ape Man (tarzan@swingingthroughthejunglewithouta.net), August 22, 2000.

The doctor is a woman!

-- (Netsc@pe 6.0), August 22, 2000.

I guess I need to finish that: the doctor is his mother :-)

Geography riddle:

Counting all 50 states, which state is easternmost, westernmost, northernmost, and southernmost.

(The answer may surprise you)

-- Peter Errington (petere@ricochet.net), August 22, 2000.

Off the top of my head:

East - Maine West - Hawaii North - Alaska South - Texas

-- Friendly Ghost (he@in'tcasper.com), August 22, 2000.

FG:

You got North right

-- Peter Errington (petere@ricochet.net), August 22, 2000.

Hey! That wasn't me. I've been at work all day.

First the fun ends too soon, then I miss it altogether. Oh, woe is me.

-- Debra (Thisis@it.com), August 22, 2000.

Was it the "real" Al or the Imposter Al who said that he got ducklings?

-- (kb8um8@yahoo.com), August 22, 2000.

Hawaii is easternmost, westernmost, and southernmost.

-- Tarzan the Ape Man (tarzan@swingingthroughthejunglewithouta.net), August 22, 2000.

Hawaii is southernmost. Either Alaska or Hawaii is westernmost. I think the islands of Alaska make it the winner.

Haven't a clue for Eastern if it's not Maine. If Tarzan's reasoning is right, then I'd say Alaska is easternmost. :)

-- Debra (Thisis@it.com), August 22, 2000.

A good Democrat believes Hillary is a lady.

-- seems to me (there should be @n.answer), August 22, 2000.

Tarzan and Debra, you're both winners.

Tarzan's reasoning, involving the International Date Line, is entirely correct. Debra, you are right, the Aleutians extend a little further east than the Hawaiian chain.

-- Peter Errington (petere@ricochet.net), August 22, 2000.

Obviously should have said "extend west" i.e. just over the date line.

-- Peter Errington (petere@ricochet.net), August 22, 2000.

High five Tarzan!

Good morning! Is anybody up and ready to play word association with me?

Should I start it with a new thread?

-- (Netsc@pe 6.0), August 23, 2000.

A clean thread, please

-- Oxy (Oxsys@aol.com), August 23, 2000.

OK Oxy, I'll start a new one. Are you going to play?

-- (Netsc@pe 6.0), August 23, 2000.

Yeppers. Is that the first word? Play?

All you psychologists out there, cover your eyes.
