1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first
is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is
full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years - Which room is safest for him?

2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 10 minutes.
Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a
wonderful dinner together - How can this be?

3. There are two plastic jugs filled with water. How could you put all of this water into
a barrel, without using the jugs or any dividers, and still tell which water came from
which jug?

4. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it
away?

5. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

6. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so
unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact,
nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still
may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so
without any coaching!

Well, this has to be the answer to number 2 anyway:

2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 10 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a
wonderful dinner together - How can this be?

The woman is a photographer - shoot means taking a photo - holding him under water - the developing process and hangs him -hangs the picture up to dry.

There should be a special flood control on this thread whereby there may only be one post every three minutes, to stop me and dr. loon here looking like fools

Though with me, flood control won't stop me looking like a fool
