Just Some things to think about. If you have one, post it.

1) Do people who spend $2.00 apiece on those little
bottles of Evian water know that spelling it backwards
is Naive?

2) If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea...Does
that mean the fifth one enjoys it?

1) I do drink that water and Evian backwards spells Naive which is what those who drink tap water are.  I know what I am drinking, do you? ;)

2) Nuttin wrong with a little Hershey squirts, as long as someone else has them and not me.  Messes up my dance routines at the music store.

These aren't necessarily jokes, but they are so weird that you'll probably just start laughing after you read them anyway. That is until you start racking your brain trying to figure out how they work out how they do!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3 guys go for dinner, each buys a $10 steak. At the end of the meal, they collect $30 between the three of them to cover the cost of the meals and gives it to the waitress. She goes back to the cash register, where the overlooking manager says "Those dinners are discounted, you need to give them $5 back." So the waitress gets the five dollars, and returns to the table. Not knowing how to split $5 between the three of them, she gives 1 dollar to each of the three patrons, and kept two for herself.

Now if you do the math, together they paid $30, got $3 back meaning they only paid $27. The waitress kept $2. This totals $29. Where did the last dollar go?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So you want a day off. Let's take a look at what you are asking for. There are 365 days per year available for work. There are 52 weeks per year in which you already have 2 days off per week, leaving 261 days available for work. Since you spend 16 hours each day away from work, you have used up 170 days, leaving only 91 days available. You spend 30 minutes each day on coffee break which counts for 23 days each year, leaving only 68 days available.

With a 1 hour lunch each day, you used up another 46 days, leaving only 22 days available for work. You normally spend 2 days per year on sick leave. This leaves you only 20 days per year available for work. We are off 5 holidays per year, so your available working time is down to 15 days. We generously give 14 days vacation per year which leaves only 1 day available for work and I'll be damned if you are going to take that day off!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Depending on how you ask the questions, you can force the answer you seek! Remember 43% of polls are wrong, the other 78% are made up! Don't jump to the answer, just scroll down. Take this test mentally, don't write down your answers, and don't shout them out.

1. Pick a number from 2 to 9. It can be 2 or it can be 9, or any number in between.
2. Take that number that you've chosen, and multiply it by 9.
3. That should give you a two digit number. Take those two digits and add them together.
4. Take the resulting number and subtract 5 from it.
5. Take that number and correspond it to the alphabet, numbering the letters. A =1, B=2, C=3, and so on...
6. Take your letter, and think of a country that begins with that letter.
7. Take the last letter in the name of that country, and think of an animal.
8. Now, take the last letter in the name of that animal, and think of a color.
9. But remember, that there are no orange kangaroos in Denmark.

The problem with the first one is that you don't subtract the $3 from their total and get $27, but rather subtract $5 from their total and then add $3 back to get $28 instead.  Tokk me a second to square that one.

The other 2 just get me every time...
:P

i havent bothered figuring the math for the 2nd one but the 3rd one i found out is rather easy

when it first asks you to pick an number between 2-9, multiply it by 9, and then add them up, you will get 9 everytime

ex

2x9= 18  1+8 = 9
5x9=45   4+5 = 9

then when you subtract 5 you will get 4

the letter assigned to 4 is D
Thier are only 2 coutries that start with the letter D and the one 99.9% of people will think of is Denmark.

the last letter of Denmark is K and the animal most associated with K is Kangaroo.

Then the color using the last letter of Kangaroo is O for Orange.


By the way the other other country is Djibouti (please note these are the only 2 countries worth mentioning on my world Test so all others dont matter) :shame:

Or for that matter the Dominican Republic?

Sure... But Opie DID come back with several that are 1 word and are countries.  But then they are so obscure that nobody is likely to think of them, unless they are an Opie that is.

And he is just trying to be difficult. ;)
