During a visit to a mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criteria is that defines if a patient should be institutionalized.

"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub. Then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask the patient to empty the bathtub."

Okay, here's your test:

1. Would you use the spoon?

2. Would you use the teacup?

3. Would you use the bucket?

"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would choose the bucket, as it is larger than the spoon."

What was the director's response?

Hee Hee.....

"Normal" would be to pull the plug.....

But' that's just me!

Three T-Girls rent a hotel room for the night in Memphis. When they get to the hotel one girl puts $30 on her credit card. Soon the desk clerk calls and asks the girl who used the card to come down. She gets $5 cash back as there was a special he fogot to mention. She goes back up to the room and the bags arrive. They decide to each keep a dollar from the refund and give a $2 tip. Then they all decided to settle on their share of the charge card. It wouldn't work out right.

Each girl oiginall was paying $10 on the total $30 charge. Each got back $1 in cash - meaning they were paying $9 each. They gave a $2 tip on the bags (jointly).

BUT 3 x $9 + $2 = $29

Where was the missing dollar?

{Old riddle - where can you find a room for $30 ??? Wait - Sally did in West Memphis!!!)

They spent a total of $27 with ($30 bill - $3 refund) being the correct equation. Classic misdirection.

8 weights (orbs, etc)

1) weight 3 v 3

- equal weight, compare two remaining

- non-equal weight, compare two of three remaining. if not equal, heavier it is, if both equal, the odd weight out is the winner.

empty the bathtub, where does the water go if not down the drain? I like the 'pull the plug' response, or even 'lock him up'.

Here goes, a physics question:

You are trying for an average speed of 60 mph average speed in two laps around a 2 mile track in your car. Your first lap you averaged 30 mph. How fast do you have to go in order to meet your goal?

Your first response is likely to be misleading.

[Guest Juliana]

Umm 90mph? since (90+30)/2 = 60...

Also,

I got this solution to Lizzy's houses and utilities question that involves only digging 1 well...

I dont know how to get water to the 1st house

[Guest Miss_Construe]

Umm 90mph? since (90+30)/2 = 60...

Not quite, your not travelling 90 mph for long enough. Was what I answered when I first heard it though.

[Guest kelise]

You have eight testicles

OH....GOD.....NO....NO NO....NO NO NO. I just got rid of two! You mean I have 6 more! Oh the nightmares!

[Guest kelise]

OK, here we go....

A man is at work.

While working he accidentally snags a hole in his suit, which makes him very very upset.

A few moments later, the man is dead.

What did he do for a living?

[Guest i is Sam :-)]

Ahhhhhhh the thread that got me banned - that was a while ago lol.

And an astronaut, cos a diver would be able to adjust the pressure in his suit to not drown.

[Guest Donna Jean]

OH....GOD.....NO....NO NO....NO NO NO. I just got rid of two! You mean I have 6 more! Oh the nightmares!

since

velocity = distance/ time

you would need to go infinitely fast.
