just the one, like everyone else.
Any ideas re; the hobo and the cigars ?

the one about the butts?
is it none, cos you can&#39;t smoke the butts? [/b][/quote]
There&#39;s actually a logical, math-like answer to this one.

I know this guy, he should have stopped at third &#33; Someone at a party introduces you to your mother&#39;s only sister&#39;s husband&#39;s sister-in-law. He has no brothers. What do you call this lady ?

mother dearest?
another one:
Two men are in a field. One is dead and one is alive. Both are wearing backpacks. The dead man&#39;s backpack is full, and the alive man&#39;s backpack is empty. What happened?

If at first you don&#39;t succeed, skydiving&#39;s not for you &#33;

Nope, give up ?

6?

This is an unusual paragraph. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it&#33; It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd, but if you work at it a bit, you might find out. In fact, it is unusual apart from its colour and I could also join this additional bit onto it and still for such a long paragraph it is most distinctly odd&#33;

6.................correct

eeeee&#39;s = 0
