Yikes ! Get a pail of water and put this man out. :lol:
Billy-Bob was touring Europe in his car and arrived in the city of Zurich, Switzerland. Upon locating a parking space next to a lake he placed enough money in the parking meter for one hour. Two hours later he returned to his car to find a parking ticket on his windscreen.
After a little thought he came up with an idea, and in thirty minutes he was able to drive out of the city without any need of paying his fine. How did he perform this scam?
told the coppers he couldn't find the car??
Nope.http://members.shaw.ca/wenpigsfly/smileys/no2.gif

Has it to do with different timezones?Quote:

Once upon a time in the town of Kaylitelounge, a servant lived with his master. After 30 years of faithful service, his master became ill and was going to die. One day, the master called his servant and asked to make a wish. It could be any wish.... but just one. The master gave him one day to think about it. The servant became very happy and went to his mother for some direction. His mother was blind and she asked her son to ask the old man to restore her sight. Then the servant went to his wife. She became very excited and asked for a son as they'd been childless for many years. After that, the servant went to his father who wanted to be rich and so he asked his son to wish for a lot of money. The next day he went to his master and made one wish through which all three (mother, father, wife) got what they wanted. What did the servant say to his master ?
erm...
his mother would like to see her grandson in a golden crib.... or something along those lines??
i guess the money'd help with all three: eye-operation, adoption, wealth.
But thats too easy :huh:
"I wish to give each of them (mother, wife, father) one wish"
Oh yer sooo good.Quote:

In a way we're all right I'd say:
Mine's the best one in reality
Ang's the Most Accurate
And dwight's is a lawyer's answer.

I got a puzzle-book in the mail a while ago - some sort of promotion-stunt, maybe I'll translate a few one of these days, I made up a couple of my own as well, but those need work.
:) I solve yours by figuring them out though, Ridds'. :)
there are puzzle books???? :o :o
lol... actually I used to solve a lot of puzzles and find once you get in the right frame of mind they aint that hard to figure out....
it just requires thinking outside the square...
got me old brain ticking anyway... :D
and gave me a good excuse to chat up Ridds.... :P
:lol: :lol: :lol:
In a far away land, it was known that if you drank poison, the only way to save yourself is to drink a stronger poison, which neutralizes the weaker poison. The king that ruled the land wanted to make sure that he possessed the strongest poison in the kingdom, in order to ensure his survival, in any situation. So the king called the kingdom's pharmacist and the kingdom's treasurer, he gave each a week to make the strongest poison. Then, each would drink the other one's poison, then his own, and the one that will survive, will be the one that had the stronger potion.
The pharmacist went straight to work, but the treasurer knew he had no chance, for the pharmacist was much more experienced in this field, so instead, he made up a plan to survive and make sure the pharmacist dies. On the last day the pharmacist suddenly realized that the treasurer would know he had no chance, so he must have a plan. After a little thought, the pharmacist realized what the treasurer's plan must be, and he concocted a counter plan, to make sure he survives and the treasurer dies. When the time came, they king summoned both of them. They drank the potions as planned, and the treasurer died, the pharmacist survived.
What exactly happened there?
Hmmm...I can't seem to find that one ilw.....I really hope I don't have to actually try to figure it out on my own. :P
If the treasurer swaps the pharmacists potion for water, then drinks a weaker potion before the test he'll make it.
But if the pharmacist swaps it back, then the treasurer is in trouble.
Best one I've got right now.
um..... lets see
did the treasurer just use water, and planned fake drinking the pharmisists.
So the pharmasist just used water also and poisoned the water before giving to the treasurer, the treasurer figuared it must just be water also and drank it?
ok... hows this sound....
the only way to save yourself would be to drink a weak poison first then the strong one which would neutralise the weaker one right....
so the treasurer's plan was to drink a weak poison first then the stronger one made by the pharmacist and to bring water....
when the pharmacist figured that out he took water so the treasurer died from the first weaker poison and the pharmacist only drank water.....???
well it started out making sense... :blink:
edit:... blah took so long trying to figure it out and then type it two people got in before me... :lol: :lol: :lol:
maybe I should forget the puzzles and work on the typing skills...
:P
nm ang said it.
:"> and I read it too before I posted, I just didn't get what she was saying, me=eejit :lol:
lol SnnY... I didn't get it after I typed it either... :blink:
ok here's one for you all but as I'm going to bed you'll just have to assume you are right..... or wait for tomorrow to find out... :D

To the gallant, I am a pin;
To the gracious, I am a service;
To the bridesmaid, I am a win.
To the traitor, I am a bribe;

To the swift, I am an arrow;
To the bride, I am a dream.

the gracious I don't get
the bridesmaid- silver-wedding i assume
To the gracious I am a service. Well, wouldn't that be a silver tea service, that the 'gracious' would serve afternoon tea on?
And a bridesmaid is usually given a piece of jewellery as thanks.
I think you've got it Snny.
Hi BTW!

I said it was too easy, think it lost something in the translation. :)
I may try posting some harder ones another time, but now I gotta eat :)
Here's an old one, hope it hasn't been posted yet.
What has rivers but no water?
Forests but no trees?
Cities but no houses?
EDit:oops, wrong tags :unsure: I'm weird today!
Hmm back to actual riddles again?
I may have to pay attention to this thread once more. ;)
:ninja:
This is just spam.
Or do I have that backwards?
It's more powerful than God.
It's more evil than the devil.
The poor have it.
The rich need it.
If you eat it, you'll die.

The Buyer doesn't need it
The User doesn't know he's using it
