Fishing

One fine summer day two fathers and two sons went fishing at their favorite lake. They fished and talked all morning long and by noon everyone had caught one fish. As the two fathers and two sons walked back home, everyone was happy because each had a fish even though only three fish had been caught.
Two fathers and two sons. Only three fish and no fish were lost.

How can this have happened?

Aw, looks like someone got it! happy.gif
Here's another one -

A Drink For Crow

Once there was a crow who had grown so thirsty he could barely caw. He flew down to a big pitcher where he had gotten a drink of water the day before, but there was only a little bit of water remaining at the bottom. He tried and tried to reach it with his beak, but the pitcher was too deep and his beak was too short. But just as he was about to give up, he knew what to do. He flew back and forth from the garden to the pitcher until he was able to drink easily from the pitcher while sitting on its edge.

What did the crow do?

Err. Haha.

The Sticks Of Truth

Long ago in India judges traveled from village to village. One day a judge stopped at an inn to rest, but the innkeeper was very upset. Someone had just that day stolen his daughter's gold ring. The judge told him not to worry and had all the guests gather so that he could question them. When he could not figure out from their answers who the thief was, the judge decided to use some old magic. He told them all he was going to have to use the sticks of truth.

"These are magic sticks," he explained, "that will catch the thief."
He gave each guest a stick to keep under their bed during the night.
"The stick belonging to the thief will grow two inches during the night. At breakfast we will all compare sticks and the longest stick will be the thief's."

The next morning the judge had all the guests come by his table and hold their sticks up next to his to see if they had grown. But one after another all were the same. None of them had grown any longer. Then suddenly the judge called, "This is the thief! Her stick is shorter than all the rest."

Once caught, the woman confessed and the ring was returned. But all the guests were confused about the sticks of truth. The judge had said the longest stick would be the thief's, but instead it had been the shortest stick.

Why?

Err. You guys are too good... or mine are just too easy. biggrin.gif
My fingers are tired from typing this. Haha.
You guys post some! Now! mad.gif

Edit;; kk.

A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."

The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.

In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

Okay, so... There was a blind man, he was involved in a horrible shipwreck leaving 4 survivors in all.... They were stranded on a secluded island for an entire month... when he got to shore... he went into a restaurant, ordered some pelican, ate it... and went outside and shot himself... Why did he commit suicide?

If needed, ask questions to lead to an answer biggrin.gif

Oh.. yeah. That freaked the hell out of me. Co.oky got the right answer sick.gif He ate his wife thinking it was a pelican.

edit: *snaps fingers* slow typer.

editx2: Here's another one. John's mother had seven kids. She didn't know what to name them, so she named them after the days of the week. The oldest was named Sunday; the second, Monday; the third, Tuesday; the fourth, Wednesday; the fifth, Thursday; and the sixth, Friday. What was the last child's name?

a stamp.
here's one:
A man and a woman were driving in their car when it broke down. The man decided to go for help at a gas station a few miles back. He made sure nobody was in the car, rolled all the windows up, and locked all of the sedan's doors. He went off, but when he came back, his wife was dead, and there was a stranger in the car. No physical damage was done to the car, so how did the stranger get in?
