Better not tell you, it's crummy.

Have you heard the one about keeping an idiot in suspense?
I'll tell you tomorrow.

Does anybody know some more? smile

Re: Clean Jokes

Well, you fell into the trap!
The question was first started with 1=5, therefore 5=1. big_smile
When a simple solution exists, why we do we try to go for complex solutions?
This was an SMS sent to a friend of mine.

Re: Clean Jokes

Interesting problem Ganesh. I myself fell into the trap when i first saw the question and i think we all look for complex solutions because we never expect an answer to be easy (In some cases this is not true but most of the time it is).

I think ganesh posted this already, but a good 'trappy' one is:

What do you get if you expand out (x-a)(x-b)(x-c)...(x-z)?

Re: Clean Jokes

You have a basket containing 5 apples and there are 5 people in a room. How do you give everyone in the room an apple and still leave one in the basket? There aren't any other apples in the room and you can't take apples back once you've given them to someone because that would be mean.
