Time for some more nonsense

 

Time for some more nonsense

More groaners for you clever people. Answers tomorrow.

1:  Mr Robinson wanted a house in which all the windows in every room faced south. How did he achieve this?

2:  John and Jim were swept out to sea on their air beds. John was nearly saved and Jim was nearly drowned. Which of them donated a week’s wages to the lifeboat institute?

3:  One man has three sacks of corn on his back, and another man is carrying four sacks on his back. Which of them has the heavier load?

4:  What is the difference between an old, crumpled, torn £10 note and a new one? (Adjust your currency according to your circumstances.)

5:  Which would burn longer – a short, fat blue candle, or a tall, twisted yellow candle?

6:  An electric train travels north at 75 miles per hour. The wind is blowing from the east at 40 mph. In which direction will the smoke from the train blow?

7:  A donkey was tied to a six-yard rope. How did it manage to eat a pile of hay seven yards away without biting through the rope?
