| So if someone else is in the elevator, he's not going home by himself? There's a flaw in the posing of the question! |

| If he goes home by himself, he takes the elevator up to the 11th floor and walks the rest of the way up to his apartment using the stairs. If he goes home with a guest, he rides the elevator straight up to the 15th floor. Why does he do this?
Apparently he only asks his guests to push the button. |

| Yes. I've understood this entire time. But apparently if he's riding the elevator with someone who is not his guest, he won't ask them to push the button. |

| well he could. I got this riddle from my girlfriends grandpa and he never really made it explicit whether it had to be a guest or just some random person. I will say next time that if he is in the elevator ALONE then he rides it the 11th floor. |

| Anyway, SECOND RIDDLE TIME!!!!
A man is shot in the lobby of a hotel. The only other people present were a doctor, a lawyer, and a fireman. The police arrived right before the man died. His last words were "He did it". The police then arrest the fireman. Why? |

The riddle works better if you say that on a sunny day, he rides to the eleventh floor. On a rainy day, he goes all the way up. (the idea is he has an umbrella and uses that to push the button on wet days) |

Subject: Afterlife A couple made a deal that whoever died first would come back and inform the other of the afterlife. Their biggest fear was that there was no after life at all. After a long life together, the husband was the first to die. True to his word, he made the first contact, " Marion ... Marion " "Is that you, Jim?" "Yes, I've come back like we agreed." "That's wonderful! What's it like?" "Well, I get up in the morning, I have sex. I have breakfast and then it's off to the golf course .. I have sex again, bathe in the warm sun and then have sex a couple of more times. Then I have lunch (you'd be proud - lots of greens) another romp around the golf course, then pretty much have sex the rest of the afternoon. After supper, it's back to golf course again....Then it's more sex until late at night. I catch some much needed sleep and then the next day it starts all over again" "Oh, Jim are you in Heaven?" "No..........I'm a rabbit in Arizona ... |

| Believe in your friends!
Sally, a contestant on 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire?' had reached the final plateau. If she answered the next question correctly, she would win $1,000,000.
If she answered incorrectly, she would pocket only the $25,000 milestone money. As she suspected, the million-dollar question was not easy... It was, 'Which of the following species of birds does not build its own nest, but, instead lays its eggs in the nests of other birds? Is it:
A) The Condor B) The Buzzard C) The Cuckoo D) The Vulture Sally was on the spot. She didn't know the answer. Sally had used up her 50/50 Lifeline and her Ask the Audience Lifeline. All that remained was her Phone-a-Friend Lifeline. Sally hoped that she wouldn't have to use it because...well her friend was Blonde. But, Sally had no alternative. She called her friend and read her the question and four answers. The blonde responded unhesitatingly: "That's easy. The answer is C: the Cuckoo." The contestant had to make her decision quickly. Sally considered employing a reverse strategy and giving any answer, except the one that her Blonde friend had given. It would seem to be the logical thing to do. But... the Blonde had responded with such confidence, such certitude, that Sally couldn't help but be convinced. "I need an answer", said the game host. Crossing her fingers, the contestant said, "C: The Cuckoo". "Is that your final answer?" "Yes, that is my final answer." To which the host replied, "That answer is.... Absolutely correct! You are now a millionaire!" Three days later, Sally hosted a party for her family and friends, including the Blonde who had helped her win the million dollars. "Joni, I just don't know how to thank you!' Sally said.
"How did you happen to know the right answer?" "Oh, come on," said the blonde..."Everybody knows that cuckoos don't build nests! They live in clocks." Sally fainted......... |

| His request approved, the CNN photographer quickly used a cell phone to call the local airport to charter a flight. He was told a twin engine plane would be waiting for him at the airport.
Arriving at the airfield, he spotted a plane warming up outside a hanger.
He jumped in with his bag, slammed the door shut, and shouted, 'Let's go.' The pilot taxied out, swung the plane into the wind and took off.
Once in the air, the photographer instructed the pilot, Fly over the valley and make low passes so I can take pictures of the fires on the hillsides.' 'Why?' asked the pilot.
'Because I'm a photographer for CNN News,' he responded, 'and I need to get some close up shots.'
The pilot was strangely silent for a moment. Finally he stammered, 'So, what you're telling me is .... You’re NOT my flight instructor??’ |
