Ok people, let's get silly

Lets see what we can do to get the crappy threads to the next page shall we? (No offense, but we have been at each others throats the last few days)

Ill start ya off with a little teaser..........which one of you will get it?


You are ill and travelling down a road to the hospital. You reach a
fork in the road and find a pair of identical twin boys standing
there. One of the twins always tells the truth and the other twin
always lies. You are allowed to direct only one question to one of
the twins, and as such you will be assured of the correct road to the
hospital. What is your question and to whom?

"Which way would your twin tell me to go?"

Then go the other way.

If he tells the truth, then he's telling which way the liar would send you.

If He lies, he'll tell you the opposite of what the honest twin would tell you.

Either way, the answer is the wrong way.

Damnnnnnnn

Good going Harold! Want another?

The owner of the local bank found a $50 bill lying in the gutter; he
picked it up and made a note of its serial number. Later that day his
wife mentioned that they owed the butcher $50, so the banker used the
bill he'd found to settle up with the butcher. The butcher used it to
pay a farmer; the farmer in turned used it to pay his feedstock
supplier; and the feedstock supplier used it to pay his laundry bill.
The laundryman used it to pay off his $50 overdraft at the local bank.
The banker recognized the bill as being the one he had found in the
gutter, but als noticed, on closer examination, that it was a fake. By
now, it had been used to settle $250 worth of debts. What was lost?

I will ask the one on the right, and this is what I would say, "If you were the other one, wich road would you choose to get you safely to the hospital" and take the opposite road that is chosen..

Reason for this....... if you asked the one who lies that question, he would point to the wrong road because you asked him to tell the trueth and he can't do that.. and if you ask the one who always tells the trueth he will point to the wrong road because you asked him to give his brothers answer..

Now here is one for you

While attending a church convention, three rural women shared one hotel room over night. The rate was $30, they each paid $10. The following day, as they were checking out, the Manager discovered there was a special rate for the convention goers, so he refunded $5. To simplify matters, the three women agreed that each would take $1 and leave the remaining $2 for a tip for the bell hop.

Fair and square??

Not Exactly...

Since each woman paid only $9 for the room< that's $27, add $2 for the tip and you come up with $29. What happend to the other $1??

it is a loss to the banker of $50 for exepting the $50 bill at the bank...

That's fallacious logic, and poor math. Each woman paid $8.34 for the room, and contributed $0.66 to the tip, for a total of $27.00 and took a dolar of the refund home for a toatal of $30

Close WH would you like to try again??

Nope. How is it wrong.

They paid a total of $25 for the room, and a $2 tip. That adds up to $27 on my calculator. That leaves the three ones they took home to total $30.

I suck at math but I know you should tip the bellhop a buck a bag, and assuming they each brought at least one bag, the tip was too low. Bitches!
