I guess you got 2 right, I don't know why I included that but 6 is not life insurance it is a coffin. And for 14 the electrician and plumber are husband and wife.

The point of this was to see if you could explain why the answers are wrong and not tell me that these questions can only have one right answer. You failed.

Why would you put an Umbrella in a chimney. See I told you guys I was a genius. :P

 

Would it be stroking your genius ego to tell you that my 7-YEAR OLD came home from school with that one the other day? :D

 

OK then, here's another one from Mr.Whoopie: What has 18 legs and catches flies?

Yep. And you got that one in way less time than my 7-year old. :)

The plumber and the electrician are two different people. Life insurance technically works but coffin is a better answer.

Aha but it doesn't say they are two different people hence that one is right and you concede that life insurance works. "Better answer" is just your opinion because you think these questions have one right answer. Either way, all of my answers are right too.

No, I just want people to think for themselves and not tell others they are wrong because someone said so.

When I am filled,

I can point the way;

When I am empty,

Nothing moves me.

I have two skins,

One without and one within.

What am I?

 

I have hands that wave at you,

Though I never say goodbye.

It's cool for you to be with me,

Especially when I say, "HI."

What am I?

 

Until I am measured,

I am not known.

Yet how you miss me,

When I have flown!

What am I?

Glove

Ceiling Fan?

Time

Just "fan" works but yes, you got all 3.

 

With thieves I consort,

With the vilest, in short,

I'm quite at ease in depravity;

Yet all divines use me,

And savants can't lose me,

For I am the center of gravity.

 

 

Five hundred begins it, five hundred ends it,

Five in the middle is seen;

First of all figures, the first of all letters,

Take up their stations between.

Join all together, and then you will bring

Before you the name of an eminent king.

 

 

If you were pushed down a flight of stairs, what would you fall against?

The letter V

David

You'd fall against your will
