This is a very old and simple riddle, but maybe I've outlived most of you and still remember it.
A man lives on the 22nd floor of an apartment building. Every morning he wakes, prepares himself for work, then goes into the hall and pushes the down button for the elevator. He enters the elevator and presses "G" for the ground floor. Exits the elevator upon arriving at the ground level, and walks to work. He returns in the evening, enters the elevator, presses 16. Rides to the 16th floor, gets off the elevator and uses the stairs to climb the remaining 6 floors to his apartment. Why doesn't he use the elevator to go all the way to the 22nd floor?

#3. You are in a room with a locked door. There are no other ways out but through the locked door. It is impossible to force the door open. In the center of the room there is a glass of water, a pipe, and some pliers. Also, there is a small hole in the room. It is directly in the center of the room in the floor and it contains a key to the door. The hole is too small to fit your hand into or any of the items listed. How do you get out?
Im guessing you somehow put the pipe in the hole, and dump the water in the hole.... not sure, but thats my line of track

Five hundred begins it, five hundred ends it,
Five in the middle is seen;
First of all figures, the first of all letters,
Take up their stations between.
Join all together, and then you will bring
Before you the name of an eminent king.

They take the boy into the operating room at hospital #1, and the doctor says "I cant operate on this boy, he is my son."
How is this possible? Lets see who knows the answer, or who's watched the movie "tin cup"

I wonder how many have heard this one...
As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives.
Every wive had seven sacks.
Every sack had seven cats.
Every cat had seven kittens.
Kittens, cats, sacks wives, how many were going to St. Ives?
