Note: this was from an email I was sent. I do not know who originated this joke.
It’s that time of year to take our annual senior citizen test.
Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles.
As we grow older, it’s important to keep mentally alert. If you don’t use it, you lose it!
Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence.
Take the test presented here to determine if you’re losing it or not.
The spaces below are so you don’t see the answers until you’ve made your answer.
OK, relax, clear your mind and begin.
1. What do you put in a toaster?
Answer: bread. If you said toast, give up now and do something else. Try not to hurt yourself.
If you said “bread”, go to question 2.
2. Say “silk” five times. now spell “silk”. What do cows drink?
Answer: water If you said “milk”, don’t attempt the next question. Your brain is over-stressed and may overheat. Be content reading a more appropriate literature, such as Auto World. If you said “water”, proceed to question 3.
3. If a red house is made from red bricks, and a blue house is made from blue bricks, and a pink house is made from pink bricks, and a black house is made from black bricks…. what is a green house made from?
Answer: glass. Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said ‘green bricks’, why are you still reading these ! ? If you got it right, go to question 4.
4. It’s twenty years ago and a plane is flying over Germany. ( at that time, Germany was divided into East and West Germany ) Anyway, during flight 2 engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last engine is also about to fail, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately, he’s too late, and the last engine fails. He crashes directly in the middle of “no man’s land” between the 2 Germanys. Now, where would you bury the survivors? in East Germany, West Germany, or “no man’s land”.
Answer: you don’t bury survivors. If you said anything else, you are a dunce, and you must stop now. If you got it right, proceed to question 5.
5. Without using a calculator, do this problem. You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales . In London , 17 people get on the bus. In Reading , six people get off the bus and nine people get on. In Swindon , two people get off and four g et on. In Cardiff , 11 people get off and 16 people get on. In Swansea , three people get off and five people get on .. In Carmathen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven. What was the name of the bus driver?
Answer:
Oh, for crying out loud! Don’t you remember your own name? It was YOU!! Now pass this along to all your friends and pray they do better than you.
PS: 95% of people fail most of the questions!!
