melvin.x Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Okay cool! Cheers! ....this is a bit different! As Sam boarded his flight to Israel, he noticed an old acquaintance at the back of the plane. He shouted a greeting to his friend by name, then knocked on the cockpit door to say hello to one of the pilots, who was also an old friend. Several moments later Sam was arrested, why? His old friends name was Jack and he shouted "Hi Jack" and went to the pilots... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this one of these "He supposedly died in a hijacked plane" stories or is it more like "The plane is a bomber" type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can crawl up at the rate of four metres in one day, but at night it slips back three metres. At this rate, how long will it take the worm to crawl out of the hole?

The project was scrapped when someone realized that in spite of having sufficient water supplies, they could die of dehydration within a few hours. Why?

cornerstone Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Birds need gravity to swallow ? This was correct. Apparently birds need gravity to swallow. Nice work @gamefreaks too! Here we go! If someone said to you, "I will bet you $1 that if you give me $2 I will give you $3 in return," would this be a good bet for you to take? (And why?)

(Gives him $1 + $2, gets $3 back.) (Maybe make $1 if gets stake back) Worst is lose $3. Bad deal! Edited July 28, 2006 by gamefreaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Pugwash just pipped that one! WINNER! Okay, here's my swansong for the night.... During World War II several British naval spies on the lookout for enemy ships and activities posed as Canadian lobster fishermen. They had large numbers of plastic orange-coloured lobsters made for their covert operations. These lobsters came in various sizes with authentic markings. At night the spies loaded the lobsters into traps and threw them overboard. At daybreak they would hoist the traps aboard ship. The locals spotted them as fraudulent fishermen from quite a distance. How were they so easily detected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He asked the assistant "How much will one cost?" The assistant thought for a moment and said, "three dollars." Bob looked a little puzzled and said "well then, how much will twelve cost?" "Six dollars," replied the clerk. Bob scratched his head and said, "if I were to purchase two hundred, how much would that cost?" "That," said the clerk, "will cost you nine dollars." What was Bob buying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
