Do you like to think?

Here are some questions that make you think.

1. Is there such a thing as a trick answer?

2. In exams why does it say 'Write in your own words'? Surely you can't just go and make up your own words?

3. Why are the good answers always the ones you think of later?

4. Don't we all know all the answers just as long as they ask the right questions?

5. Does being right half the time beat being half-right all the time?

6. Why is it we feel dumb when we don't know the answer and totally stupid when we see it?

7. Isn't it frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions?

8. Why is it that when you're taking an open-book test the teacher automatically fails you if he catches you copying your classmate's answer? Aren't you both supposed to have the same answer?

9. Has anyone else not taken an IQ test for fear of learning that you really aren't as smart as you think you are?

10. How is it that teenagers can memorize 30 phone numbers, but can't remember last night's assignment?

11. Why is Barney purple?

12Why doesn't Barney wear pants?

13Doesn't Fred Flintstone ever get tired of seeing the same movie at the beginning of every show?

14. Why do people always ask us how many birthdays we've had? Doesn't everybody only have one?

15.Doesn't a gentleman always remember a lady's birthday, but never her age?

16. If you're born at exactly midnight, is your birthday on both of those days?

17. If you blow out all the candles on your birthday cake and then wish that one candle stays lit, do you get your wish?

18. If you're born on an airplane over international waters, what nationality are you?

19. Why do we sometimes say that we are in a pickle or jam when we are in a sticky situation? Wouldn't being in peanut butter be a better comparison?

20.Why do we say something's out of order when its broken but we never say in of order when it works?

21Why is it that when watching an action thriller, mystery, horror, or suspense movie with some friends and it goes dead silent the person beside you always says "It's too quiet!"?

22. Why are soccer teams in England forced to modify the referee's changing rooms to make them accessible for the blind?

Since some of you are getting your license, I thought it would be wise in telling you things that you should NOT tell a police officer.

1. Hey, you must've been doing' about 125 mph to keep up with me. Good job!

2. You're not gonna check the trunk, are you?

3. Gee, Officer! That's terrific. The last officer only gave me a warning, too!

4.When the Officer says "Gee Son....Your eyes look red, have you been drinking?" You probably shouldn't respond with, "Gee Officer your eyes look glazed, have you been eating doughnuts?"

5. Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in.

6. I thought you had to be in good physical condition to be a police officer.
