Bob went to a shop to make a purchase. 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?

It's nice to see they finally gave him discount for buying 10 sign letters ...

Actually I have no idea who won that since you all seemed to know what you were talking about! :lol:

It was, of course, house numbers. Although, in my experience, you're pretty set on the numbers you need before you walk into the store :blink:

ALL WINNERS! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Mr and Mrs Jones have six daughters and each daughter has one brother. How many people are in the Jones family?

9 methinks

Yes! 9 - they all have the same brother, naturally. (One of my pals was the only brother with six older sisters. His parents kept banging away to get a boy - came up girl six times on the trot! :lol: )

During a world fair a group of scientists were exhibiting their advances in genetic engineering. There were cross-breeds of various bulls, cows and other domestic farm animals. Featured in the exhibit were several over-sized prize turkeys. One afternoon during the show, a woman walked up to the exhibit, shot the turkeys and then ran out of the building. Although she was known to a number of people, nobody made any attempt to stop her. Why?

Um, she was armed.

Ach, shite. I thought the coast was clear - I knew you would get it in a flash! :yu:

But even if it had been a gun, perhaps people wouldn't have made an attempt to stop her....because she has a gun. And it was just a turkey. :blink:

What five letter word does every Oxford graduate pronounce wrong?

...and that's easy because if they were Oxford graduates, they would immediately know it was a test as the correct question should be "Which seven letter word does every Oxford graduate pronounce wrongly?"

:thumbsupsmileyanim: Correct!

And as a special prize, we have a message from esteemed Oxford graduate Stephen Hawking!

John dropped in to visit his friend Frank, and found him snoozing on the couch. There was fresh blood on the ceiling above his head, but nowhere else in the room. John anxiously woke him to check his condition only to find that everything was fine. How could Frank's blood be on the ceiling but nowhere else? :o

He was using the couch as a trampoline, banged his head and fell asleep on the spot.

So you didn't like my piece of ceiling falling one then?

Ken

The question says it was on the ceiling above his head, so I guess the bit of ceiling is still up there. :)

Fair enough - we'll keep that one live then, and add another... :yeah:

A horse is tied to a five metre rope in front of an old saloon. Six metres behind the horse is a bale of hay. Without breaking the rope, the horse is able to eat the hay whenever he chooses. How is this possible?

There are two possible answers.

1. The rope is tied to the back of the horse

2. The rope isn´t tied to the other end at all...
