Riddle

Ok, lets see who can figure this one out, the answer is obvious, but its hard to realize somtimes.

There is a dad driving down the road in his car with his son. They get into an accident, 2 ambulances come from 2 different hospital. ambulance #1 takes the boy and brings him to hospital #1. Ambulance #2 takes the father to a different hospital 20 miles away from where the son is (#2). 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"

Yeah, I heard that one when I was 8 years old.

Have you heard this one?

Say you're a bus driver. At the first stop, 9 people get on. At the next stop, 4 people get on and 2 get off. Next stop, 20 people get on and 11 get off. Next stop, 13 get off. Next stop, 14 get on 1 gets off. Next stop, 20 get on, 6 get off.
















Who's the bus driver?

Sometimes I have to make sacrafices in Winter time. Hopefully in a couple weeks I'll be out ripping up highways & getting paid again.

When that happens you all will get a much needed break from me, they keep me pretty busy when the wheather is nice!

Parks, that was just a joke, we dont need a break from ya, your good people

Your welcome dennis, at least you got something done today.

I did too!!!!!!! Put our first change of synthetic (AMS) in our new mazda 626 (the filter is cute its about 1/4 the size of the one on our trucks....literally) and I put a new brake line on angelas (wifes truck) (see here for an a funny explanation of the brake line w/ pics https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=225775 )

I washed the mud off her truckand motor at the car wash And I even tinkered with her carb a bit to get it to run better (I mickey-moused it) until we can afford the new edelbrock performer were eyen for her (I need to pay some attention to gettin my 429 in my truck runnin and gettin it painted and outa the garage but thats another story for another time)

I was gonna change the oil in my 89 Mustang GT Vert (my other baby) and get her ready for summer, but I ran outa day

I just realized I am rambling...sorry guys....peace out

Okay.........heres a question on a job application. Some of you brainiacs might have seen it.

Your in a room. No windows, no doors. This also means no air vents, trap doors, nothing for you to use as an exit. Sealed up tight.
Only objects in the room.......you, a desk, a hand saw, and a mirror.
How do you get out of the room using only those three items?

Actually, some thought the same thing.....same way I got in. The response......we didnt ask how you got in. Only one person I know figured it out. Then again, she truly was/is a genius. Just dumber than a box of rocks....but an IQ of like a trillion.

Ok... this is a tough one. Let me see if i can break it down and come up with an answer.

First, because the room is sealed up tight there can be a "logical" way out. The only way to solve this must be to use the the meaning of words to solve it. The ovious answer is that you can say i "saw a saw" So to start out i can look in the mirror to see what i saw. That removes the mirror from the list, leaving the saw and the desk. This would lead me to believe that you have to use the saw on the desk. So you cut the desk in half, then what. You now have two halves of a desk. Ok, now i get it, if you put the two halves back together you make a whole. You can then climb through the hole to get out.

So the answer must be:
You look in the mirror and see what you saw. You take the saw and saw the table in half. Then, you put the two halves back together to make a whole and climb through that hole.

So, am i right?

Chris
