Humour: Ability to Still Think

[Guest guest]

It's that time of year again -- time to take our annual Ability to Still

Think examination.

Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. 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

" thinkability. "

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. Scroll down to the answer and to the next question.

OK, relax, clear your mind and begin.

1. What do you put in a toaster?

(see below)

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?

(see below)

Answer: Cows drink water. If you said " milk, " don't attempt the next

question. Your brain is over stressed and may even overheat. Content

yourself with reading a more appropriate literature such as Auto World.

However, 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?

(see below)

Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said " green bricks, " why

are you still reading these???

If you said " glass, " go on to Question 4.

4. It's twenty-five years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over

Germany (If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided

into West Germany and East Germany.) Anyway, during the flight, two

engines fail.

The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing,

decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails

before he can do so and the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of

" no man's land " between East Germany and West Germany. Where would you

bury the survivors? East Germany, West Germany, or no man's land " ?

(see below)

Answer: You don't bury survivors. If you said ANYTHING else, you're a

dunce and you must stop. If you said, " You don't bury survivors " ,

proceed to the next question.

5. Without using a calculator - You are driving a bus from London to
