This is a thread strictly for jokes and riddles. ( or anything else that makes you laugh or think ) I've got a riddle that I had seen on basil before, however your answer must be answered straight away... "Two old brothers live in a one story house. In the house everything is purple. The curtain is purple. The kitchen is purple. The sink is purple. What colour are the stairs?" Five truths of life 1. You cannot touch all your teeth with your tounge. 2. Hereby, all idiots will attempt the first truth. 3. You now have a smile on your face because your realised the first truth is a lie. 4. -forgot, someone please fill me in- 5. You still have that stupid grin on your face. AND... "Confucious say boy meet girl in park is good. But boy park meat in girl even better." SO, add your your funny things and riddles here! :D hopefully this becomes a nice thread and even stickied into the Fun section Best riddle Although it is neither big nor small, nor is it a liquid, solid or gas, it can be broken without being dropped. What is it? Best joke A lawyer and a Chinese are sitting next to each other on a long flight. The lawyer is thinking that all Chinese are so dumb that he could get over on them, easy. So the lawyer asks if the Chinese would like to play a fun game. The Chinese is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines, and tries to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists, and says that the game is a lot of fun. I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5; you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500, he says. This catches the Chinese's attention and to keep the lawyer quiet, he agrees to play the game. The lawyer asks the first question. 'What's the distance from The Earth to the Moon?' The Chinese doesn't say a word, reaches in his pocket, pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer. Now, it's the Chinese's turn. He asks the lawyer, 'What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?' The lawyer uses his laptop and searches all references he could not find on the Net. He sends e-mails to all the smart friends he knows, all to no avail. After one hour of searching he finally gives up. He wakes up the Chinese and hands him $500. The Chinese pockets the $500 and goes right back to sleep. The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the Chinese up and asks, 'Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four? The Chinese reaches in his pocket, hands the lawyer $5 and goes back to sleep. Don't mess with Chinese. Best brain work 1 11 21 1211 111221 Following this rule, what is the number before and after 123456?
