Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles.
As
we grow older, 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 intelligence.
OK relax, clear your mind and
begin.
1. What do you put in a
toaster?
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?
Answer:
Cows drink water. If you said "milk," don't attempt the next
question.
Your brain is over-str essed 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?
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 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?"
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 -

Milford Haven in Wales. In London,
17 people get on the bus; In
Reading, six people get off the bus and nine
people get on. In
Swindon, two people get off and four get on. In
Cardiff, 11 people get
off and 16 people get on. In Swansea, three
people get off and five
people get on. In Carmathen, six people get off
and three get on. You
then arrive at Milford Haven.& ;nbs p; What
was the name of the

Answer:
Oh, for crying out loud!

bus.....
