1. Do they have a fourth of July in England?
   Of course they do. Every July has a fourth no matter where you are!
    
2. How many birth days does the average man have?
   Birth days? One. He was only born once.
    
3. Some months have 31, how many have 28?
   One? Nope. ALL months have 28 days in them dummy!
    
4. In baseball, how many outs are there in an inning?
   Three? Sorry bud. You forgot each inning is composed of TWO parts where EACH TEAM gets THREE innings for a grand total of SIX outs per inning.
    
5. Can a California man legally marry his widow's sister?
   Yes? Are you sure? Let's think about this one... his widow? That would make him.... DEAD, and I don't think a DEAD MAN is going to be marrying anyone. For you techniphiles out there that note the question asked if it was legal, why don't you see if there's anything in the statute about marring dead people...
    
6. Divide 30 by 1/2 and add 10, what is the answer? (don't use your calculator)
   25? Is that your answer? I know, 30 divided by 1/2 is 15 plus 10 is 25, right? Wrong. 30 divided by 1/2 is the same as 30 multiplied by 2 (remember fifth grade math?). So... 60 plus 10 is.... 70!
    
7. If there are 3 apples and you take away 2, how many do you have?
   One? YOU take away 2, how many do YOU have? Uhhh... 2.
    
8. Doctor gives you three pills and tells you to take one every half hour how many minutes will the pills last?
   1-1/2 hours? 3 x 1/2 hr equals 1-1/2 hours right? Well, right... but that's not the answer. Here's the timeline... Doctor gives you pills, you take one, elapsed time - 0. Take a second pill 1/2 hr later. Elapsed time - 1/2 hour. Take the third pill 1/2 after that. Now pills are gone. Elapsed time - 1 hour.
    
9. A farmer has 9 sheep standing in a field and all but 8 drop down and die, how many are left standing?
   One? Try again. All but 8 drop dead so 8 are left standing. Get it yet? Keep thinking about it.
    
10. How many members of each animal did Moses take on the ark?
    A dummy might just say 2. A brighter person might say 1 (how many of each animal). The correct answer however is none. MOSES didn't do the ark thing, Noah did! Heeheehee.
     
11. A clerk in the butcher shop is 5'10" tall. What does he weigh?
    Uh, meat?
     
12. How many two cent stamps are in a dozen?
    6? There are 6 two cent stamps in a dozen? I don't think so, last I heard there were 12 stamps in a dozen.
