Damn! Too quick for me Julia!
How about this.
A corpse is dangling 2 feet above the floor with a rope around his neck. The rope is attached securely to an oak beam. The room is empty except for a bucket in the corner of the room, 10 feet away from the corpse, and a puddle underneath the corpse. How did this man manage to commit suicide?

Too easy: he stood on a block of ice which melted!

A man and his son were involved in a car accident and were both rushed to hospital, the son was badly injured and the man died.

When the son was on the operating table the surgeon said "I can't operate on this boy he is my son!"

Who was the boys father?

Try this one then it's really hard. Taking the following as an example:

7 D of the W = 7 Days of the week
3 B M (S H T R) = 3 Blind mice (see how they run)

What is:

23 P of C in the HB

That "should" take a little longer (Hopefully!)

How about a man lives in an apartment block on the 20th floor. On a sunny day he goes to the 10th floor and gets out and walks up the stairs to his apartment. On a rainy day he goes straight up to the 20th floor. Why??????

He is too short to reach the button for the 20th floor but on a rainy day he had his brolly with him and can press the button with that??????
