Since you liked the die hard one, see if you can remember this one:

As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives. Every wife had seven sacks, every sack had seven cats, every cat had seven kitts. Kitts, cats, sacks, wives, how many were going to St. Ives?

Someone start what colour is the sky thread quick!

Actually... did anyone get the one I posted ages ago? I say ages ago.. but it was less the 48 hours ago... bleh

anyway...

One day a man received a parcel in the post. Carefully packed inside was a human arm. He examined it, repacked it and then sent it on to another man. The second man also carefully examined the arm before taking it to the woods and burying it. Why did they do this?

Did the arm belong to one of the men?

No. It didn't.

Was the second man John de Chastelain
putting arms beyond use?

No. No. No.

ok

Did the 2 men know eachother?

Yes. Yes they do.

This is one of the more complicated ones. Not as bad as the shocked midget... but in the same area... I'm sure glad I don't have to work this one out this morning... my poor monkey brain is hungover.... I think I'll put on a pot of coffee...

Ive noe got the idea into my head they are Undertakers!

Something about remember some people got different parts of their body buried in different parts of a country!

Am i way off? hehe

No. Nothing like that. They aren't undertakers and they aren't historians. The arm isn't very old either.

No. None of them are related.
