you must fill out forms veg01, veg05, and if it's green, veg77. In addition, frt64, frt82, and frt40 if you'd like to keep the seeds. And pay 42.39 for every ounce you wish to convert. All this must be done on a blue moon between 7:45 and 8am.

That ones easy possessednovafurbywaffle boy
Chicken comes first, the egg forms around it.
Additionally the egg would have evolved as a protective defense mechinism against the aliens.

What goes up the chimney down, down the chimney down, up the chimney up, but not down the chimney up?

Roosters don't lay eggs

Speaking of chickens....which came first, the chicken, or the egg?

You don't burry survivours. :%)

Here's a good one...
If a rooster lays an egg on the peak of a roof , will the egg roll to the left side or to the right side?

Yeah skydiving with the unopened shute.

The gov did have a hand in it, although the way I heard it (from the aliens I heard gossiping during their coffe break during the brain probe) they had cut his parachute cords while they were looking for his $0.02.

OK so there are 3 guys who walk into a shop and spend $30 so they all put in $10 each. So they leave. After they have left the store owner re-thinks the total cost and works out that the correct cost should have been $25.

So that means there they were over charged $5. So the store owner runs after the 3 guys and gives them back $1 each and keeps $2. SO therefore they all only paid $9.

But each guys pay $9 each so that is a total of $27 plus the $2 the store owner keeps which gives us $29. But they originally paid $30.

Where is the other dollar???????

The tundra is frozen

There wouldn't be any footprints unless there was snow on the ground

Guy is found dead in the middle of the tundra. There are no footprints leading towards him or away from him. He is wearing a pack.

How did he die.

Trick question . They first spent 10 bucks each which will total $30.But the store owner retotals it to 25 which means they would have to pay $8.34 each which is a rough estimate. So the shop keeper gives them a dollar back each and keeps 2 dollars. So that means each pay 9 dollars to total 27 dollars. You have to subtract the 2 dollars off to total 25 dollars which was the cost of what they bought at the store. So $25 dollars was the cost + $2 which the store owner kept which is 9 bucks each for the 3 men and thats why you cant add the 2 dollars onto the 27 dollar total. So to add up all the money..... $25 dollar total + $3 bucks back + 2 bucks the store owner kept = $30. You can subtract it too . $30 original total - $3 back - $2 = $25 :%) Its a bit confusing... and even I get a bit confused trying to think it all out. Keep the brain teasers coming
