Lala, good laugh.

Very good, Lala.

A scientist gets on a train to go to New York. His cabin also has a poor farmer in it. To pass the time the scientist decides to play a game with the guy.

"I will ask you a question and if you get it wrong, you have to pay me 1 dollar. Then you ask me a question, and if I get it wrong, you get 10 dollars. You ask me a question first." The farmer thinks for a while.

"I know. What has three legs, takes 10 hours to climb up a palm tree, and 10 seconds to get back down?"

The scientist is confused and thinks long and hard about the question. Finally, the train ride is coming to an end. As it pulls into the station, the scientist takes out 10 dollars and gives it to the farmer.

"I don't know. What has 3 legs, takes 10 hours to get up a palm tree and 10 seconds to get back down?"

The farmer takes the 10 dollars and puts it into his pocket. He then takes out 1 dollar and hands it to the scientist.

"I don't know."

Good joke, Holly.

Holly,

As a student of science I can use this joke to think and solve problems in lateral way.
This farmer knew that he could never win so he thought laterally and caught the scientist unaware.

Already my mind is thinking of ideas about how one can solve problems thus.

The scientist made an assumption-

all questions asked will have an answer.
But he did not tell about this assumption to the farmer.
So the farmer ignored the assumption and won.

The Perfect Couple

It doesn't say what caused the accident though, because statistics show that in accidents where women have a collision with a male driver, in the majority of cases it was the man's fault. Insurance company statistics bear this out, which is why there are 3 Motor insurance Companies in the UK who deal exclusively with women drivers, and the premiums are lower.

Just as well I didn't listen, isn't it?

Why did you not listen?

Why Men Sleep So Much

What kinds of games do you play?

I just ran around the house with my cat. We play a game... he hides and reaches for my legs with his paws when i pass by. I run away (lots of fake stomping), he chases me but i get a head start and go around a corner and stop and then when he comes around the corner i jump out and go "BOO!" He leaps in the air and runs away and i chase him... hahaha. That's one game.

I should be "too old" to run around the house like that, but it's good for both the cat and me!
