Okay, I've got several of these. I'll do one a day until they have all been completed. Answers in the com boxes, please. I'll check after dinner to see who has gotten what right, and I'll post answers as I see them. Answers for all ten will be posted tomorrow evening, and a new set of ten will follow.
- If a man bets you that he can bite his eye, should you take the bet? No. He'll take his glass eye out of the socket and bite it.
- If he now bets you that he can bite his other eye, should you take that bet? No, he'll take out his dentures and bit it.
- How can you stand behind someone while he stands behind you? Stand back-to-back.
- What looks like a horse, moves like a horse, and is as big as a horse, but weighs nothing? A horse's shadow.
- Who is bigger: Mr. Bigger or Mr. Bigger's son? Mr. Bigger's son. No matter how big Mr. Bigger is, his son is always a little Bigger!
- Tom's mother had three children. One was named April; one was named May. What was the third one named? Tom.
- Where could you go to see an ancient pyramid, an iceberg, and a huge waterfall? Egypt, Greenland, and Niagra Falls. Among other places. What? I never said it was all in one place!
- What has four fingers and a thumb but isn't a hand? A glove.
- What multiplies by division? I'll accept "a cell" as the answer. The one in my book said an amoeba, which is, according to this definition, a cell. But I suppose other cells also multiply by division.
- What's white when it's dirty and black when it's clean? A chalkboard.
Remember, boys and girls, answers go in the comboxes. I'll check and see how you're doing after dinner. Have fun!
