here is an old one:
Every day a man gets up and goes to work. He lives on the top floor of a 50 (fitty lol) floor apt, and he catches the elevator outside his door and takes it all the way down to the lobby and proceeds with his day. He does this every time he goes out - takes the elevator from his floor all the way down.

But, when he returns home, if he is alone, he ALWAYS takes the elevator up to the 49th floor only, gets out, and walks up the last floor to his suite. The elevator works fine, but he does this even if he has a heavy load to carry.

Why?

sounds like a lot of people I know, however, the little guy does not live on the roof, and the elevator goes all the way to his floor, he just doesn't take it there when he is going up, if he is the only person on it.

Okay the dude is married. When he is with someone (most probably his wife or a neighbor) he naturally gets of on the 50th floor.

But if he is alone...then he is gettin' some on the side from some gal on the 49th floor.

I know that is wrong...but it is the only thing I can come up with at this time! Am I even close or getting warm?

I thought that you guys wre pulling MY leg! lol

The answer is that he is a 'little person' and cannot reach the top buttons on the elevator control panel.

He can hit 'Lobby' on the way down, but can only reach as high as the second from top row to go up - hence the 'when he is alone' bit.

Okay, I'll just give up peacefully. What tree should I meet you at?
If I'm not there, start without me. :o)

That was about as bad as a Murder She Wrote episode...and Jessica turns and faces the camera and says "Now I see why he always got off at the 49th Floor".

And the Sheriff says, "Huh?"

And she says, "Why sure....it never rains in Southern California, so why carry an umbrella?"

And the Sheriff says, "Huh?"

And she says, "And I bet he doesn't even wear lifts in his shoes....so he couldn't possibly have gotten of at the 50th floor and murdered his wife at 11:43 pm".

And the Sherrif says, "Now dagummit Jessie...what y'all talkin about. We got his fingerprints on the murder weapon. An eye witness who saw him get off of the elevator on the 50th floor at exactly 11:43 and he is also on the security video camera. And had a motive because he knew that his heiress wife was about ready to divorce him and cut him off without one red cent."

Jessica, "It wasn't him...it was his sister!"

Sherrif, "Huh?"

Jessica, "Of course....she wears high heels."

Sherrif, "Huh?"

Never much cared for Jessica... Was sort of afraid to like her, everyone she knew died sooner or later! Not the sort of person I'd want to be friendly with.

Always wondered how did she stay out of jail though? I mean it made no difference where she went, somebody died! You'd think they'd have put her away on Circumstantial Evidence alone. At least 26 bodies a year turned up, where ever she went for how many years? That's pretty suspicious.

Jessica would;ve got the right answer to my puzzle.
Which is based on a true story.*

It is about a much maligned savant who is famous for his experiments from the pre PETA days, when he used to put monkeys in a cage and dangle an orange above a ladder, and when one of them tried to climb the ladder, my dad would spray the other monkeys with a water pistol.
They got so agitated that one day, about generation 7, I think, one of the new monkeys realized thar the cage wasn't locked and when the scientist sprayed them they escaped out the cage.
When we got finished walking up the flight of stairs (never could understand that, but dad always did it and we just followed in his footsteps I guess) from the 49th floor and got home, we found him dead with his water pistol somehow lodged in his throat.
All the oranges were missing, and the monkeys just sat in their cage and kept looking at the ladder and then my dad, the famous Dr. Leonard 'B.F.' Skinnerd.

(*Note: Some of the facts have been fabricated to protect the innocent)

Okay, here is a classic:

Three people check into a hotel. They pay £30 to the manager and go to their room. The manager suddenly remembers that the room rate is £25 and gives £5 to the bellboy to return to the people. On the way to the room the bellboy reasons that £5 would be difficult to share among three people so he pockets £2 and gives £1 to each person. Now each person paid £10 and got back £1. So they paid £9 each, totalling £27. The bellboy has £2, totalling £29. Where is the missing £1?

(note, 1lb = 16 oz. lol)

Would you rather a crocodile attack you or an alligator?

That show.

You don't watch TV? How do you what to buy when you go shopping?

Read what?

All information is false, if you ask the right people.

Paulhiles made a choice for bloodshed, and the particular choice was thusly elucidated:

mikmik, I followed your url, went to "about Us", changed the colour, and zip? Just thought you'd like to know?

Back to the attacked by who preference:

Crocks will eat anything they can catch, once nicely tenderised in their larder. Whereas alligators, though they might attack a human, as far as I'm aware don't actually like human flesh. Therefore, I'm guessing a person is far more likely to survive an alligator attack?

Other than that, I wouldn't want to be attacked by either

In otherwords, the sooner he gets a taste, the sooner he goes "Blech!", therefore, against an alli' attack, the best defence is a non-defence. Give im a quick 'bite' and he will go elsewhere. :o)

Thanks, pete61UK, I forgot about that, I was playing with some PHP config, and my server went down, then I forgot about it after about another ten minutes. What do alligatores like to eat?, I find myself ruminating.
But I still think they make a good watchdog.

That could be right, just don't let them get a hold of anything vital, or something you'd rather not lose. Also, are alligators the smaller species?

Re the site, glad I could help.

If you want a laugh, or to see a daft Taff in robes, check-out last years graduation pics at my site. Go through the "about me" section.

I had much rather be attacked by a croc because their land speed record is 10.6 mph, where a gator can run 35mph for a short distance!

If that's the right answer - Let's see if you can get mine above:
There is definitely a correct answer!

The second engineer says "I think God is an Electrical Engineer, because of the nervous system and neural network." The other three nod there heads and say "Yeah, could be."

The third engineer says "I think God is a Chemical Engineer, because of hormonal balances and metabolism." The other three nod there heads and say "Yeah, could be."

The fourth engineer snaps his fingers and shouts out "I know, God MUST be a Civil Engineer!"

The other three ask "Why?"

"Well" says the fourth engineer, "who else would put a waste water drainage right through a prime recreational area?"
