Three men go fishing on a camping trip.  They collect all the fish they caught and out them in a cooler.  They agree that when they leave they will divide up the fish equally.  In the middle of the night the first man gets sick and decides to leave.  He opens up the cooler and counts the fish.  He throws away one fish and then takes his third of the fish.  Later that night the second man has a family emergency and decides to leave.  He opens up the cooler and counts the fish.  He throws away one fish and then takes his third of the fish.  The third man gets up very early the next morning and decides to leave.  He opens up the cooler and counts the fish.  He opens up the cooler and counts the fish.  He throws away one fish and then takes his third of the fish.  None of the men know that the other men had taken any fish.  What is the smallest number of fish that would make this possible???\nThis is my sister's 4th grade riddle.  How long will it take you to figure this out! good luck.

Well, this girl at work, her son's fish died and she took the day off to console him.  We had a good laugh when she got back because she had to have a fish funeral. Her son was distraught and she just couldn't leave him.\n\nLater, she learned from a friend that she should have just said the fish had belly-up flu and that she'd take him to the doctor on the way to work, get him fixed and he'll be fine in a day or two.

1. Gathering chickens\n\nThe farmer's son was returning from the market with the crate of chicken's his father had entrusted to him, when all of a sudden the box fell and broke open. Chickens scurried off in different directions, but the determined boy walked all over the neighborhood scooping up the wayward birds and returning them to the repaired crate. Hoping he had found them all, the boy reluctantly returned home, expecting the worst.\n\n"Pa, the chickens got loose," the boy confessed sadly, "but I managed to find all twelve of them."\n\n"Well, you did real good, son," the farmer beamed. "You left with seven."\n\n\n2. Try to grow chickens\nA New York City yuppie moved to the country and bought a piece of land. He went to the local feed and livestock store and talked to the proprietor about how he was going to take up chicken farming. He then asked to buy 100 chicks.\n\n"That's a lot of chicks," commented the proprietor. "I mean business," the city slicker replied.\n\nA week later the yuppie was back again. "I need another 100 chicks," he said. "Boy, you are serious about this chicken farming," the man told him.\n\n"Yeah," the yuppie replied. "If I can iron out a few problems." "Problems?" asked the proprietor. "Yeah," replied the yuppie, "I think I planted that last batch too close together." \n\n\n--- ► λ ◄

Three men rent a room for $30.00. ($10.00 each)  When they got to the room there was no heat.  They called the man at the front desk who sent up a $5.00 refund.  They couldn't evenly split the five so they each took a dollar and gave the bellhop a $2.00 tip. Now the three men ended up paying $9.00 each because they all took a dollar back from the five. (9 x 3 = 27) Plus the $2.00 tip to the bellhop. (27 + 2 = 29)  What happened to the last dollar?\nI LIKE THIS ONE TOO !!

I think the second time around the man should pull his waist line out for the donkey to actually see. How could the donkey see if the man was whispering in his ear? I know it could be implied it was done afterwards but the joke would run smoother if it were rewritten. Still not a bad joke. It's been a while since I've heard it.

1. What happened was that someone fired a bullet from the rifle  into the side of a fish tank. The projectile did not kill the FISH in the tank, but because the tank was shattered and the FISH (the victim) was no longer in its element (the water) it suffocated due to lack of oxygen. \n2. NONE.. Ryan O'Neal\n    MARSH..  Omar Sharif\n    LIEN.. I'm working on it - I don't give up easily! Last one!\n3. 1953 & 1959  because  both 53 and 59 are prime numbers  \n     and therefore each can only be divided by (1) and itself.

good one...Here's one....Three men who were lost in the forest were captured by cannibals. The cannibal king told the prisoners that they could live if they pass a trial. The first step of the trial was to go to the forest and get ten pieces of the same kind of fruit. So all three men went separate ways to gather fruits.\nThe first one came back and said to the king, "I brought ten apples." The king then explained the trial to him. "You have to shove the fruits up your butt without any expression on your face or you'll be eaten."\nThe first apple went in... but on the second one he winced out in pain, so he was killed.\nThe second one arrived and showed the king ten berries. When the king explained the trial to him he thought to himself that this should be easy. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8... and on the ninth berry he burst out in laughter and was killed.\nThe first guy and the second guy met in heaven. The first one asked, "Why did you laugh, you almost got away with it?" The second one replied, "I couldn't help it, I saw the third guy coming with pineapples."

To get your answers, imagine what has to happen.  \n\na) First, you have to pick 1 of the 4 white balls out of the 12 balls there.\n\n2nd, you have to pick 1 of the 3 white balls left out of the 11 balls there.\n\nSo, in order to get a red and then a red, you need to get 4 out of 12 followed by 3 out of 11 or 4/12 times 3/11 or 12/132 = 1/22.\n\nb) First, how many ways can 5 people line up?  5!.  How many ways are correct (assuming they all have different names, only 1).  So, the prob is 1/5! or 1/120.

Basically: There is an initial $30 charge.  It should have been $25, so $5 must be returned and accounted for.  $3 is given to the 3 friends, $2 is kept by the manager - there you have the $5.  \n\nThe trick to this riddle is that the addition and subtraction are done at the wrong times to misdirect your thinking - and quite successfully for most.  Each of the 3 friends did indeed pay $9, not $10, and as far as the friends are concerned, they paid $27 for the night.  But we know that the clerk will tell us that they were charged only $25 and when you add the $3 returned with the $2 kept by the bellhop, you come up with $30.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. \n\nThe professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous "yes."\n\nThe professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.\n\n"Now," said the professor as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things--your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.\n\nThe pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car. The sand is everything else---the small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.\n\n"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."\n\nOne of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."
