    "That's not fair," Jill said. "You'll just prick me with a pin or do something similar"
    "Nope," Jane said. "I won't touch you, either directly or with any object. If you get out of the chair, it'll be by your own choice."
    Jill thought, accepted the challenge, and lo and behold, Jane won the bet. How did she do it? 16. Jill sat down in the chair. Jane ran around it twice, then said, "I'll be back in a week to run the third time around

    25A man comes up to the border of a country on his motorbike. He has three large sacks on his bike. The customs officer at the border crossing stop him and asks, “What is in the sacks?”

    “Sand,” answered the man.

    The guard says, “We’ll see about that. Get off the bike.”

    The guard takes the sacks and rips them apart; he empties them out and finds nothing in them but sand. He detains the man overnight and has the sand analysed, only to find that there is nothing but pure sand in the bags. The guard releases the man, puts the sand into new bags, lifts them onto the man’s shoulders and lets him cross the border.

    A week later, the same thing happens. The customs officer asks, “What have you got?”

    “Sand,” says the man.

    The officer does another thorough examination and again discovers that the sacks contain nothing but sand. He gives the sand back to the man, and the man again crosses the border.

    This sequence of events repeats every day for the next three years. Then one day, the man doesn’t show up. The border official meets up with him in a restaurant in the city. The officer says, “I know you’re smuggling something and it’s driving me crazy. It’s all I think about. I can’t even sleep. Just between you and me, what are you smuggling?”

    What is the man smuggling? MOTORBIKES

    Thanks, Mick! I'm relieved to learn the (obvious!!!) answer to the last one, which I just couldn't figure out. Thanks for the good wishes but I've actually been hanging around here even longer. Have a good day!

      Three switches outside a windowless room are connected to three light bulbs inside the room. How can you determine which switch is connected to which bulb if you are only allowed to enter the room once?

            MAE ALL....

            Mick...thanks for the kickoff. Son and I are doing ok, feels like we're in a holding pattern. Woke up yesterday morning and couldn't see out of my right eye. Everything is just a big blur. I do have chronic eye iritis and figured it was a flareup. Started some drops hoping that would clear it up but no still can't see out of it this morning. Looks like a trip to the ophthalmologist today.

            NS...I'll let you figure out Mick's riddle. Way to early for the brain to be working.

            Lav...glad you're feeling better and like Pauly says take it easy.

            Pauly....10,000 steps BEFORE work!! Thought it was 10,000 steps a day!!

            Must orf to get ready as well. Have a Terrific AF Tuesday all and all to come......:smile:PPQP

              What Ho all!!?
              glad to see you better Lav. Being sick is no fun (just in case you were wondering!) So far, I've avoided it but you never know. My business partner took on driving a school bus because things were so slow. He's constantly fighting some bug. Large yellow petri dish!!

              Suppose to play some tunes tonight with folks I don't know at al. Got a call to come play so we'll. May be out of my element and comfort zone but you never know till you try. May be some warbling involved. That will the end of that!!

              Pauly, any idea how far 10,000 steps is? Another brain teaser! Mick, the teasers are fun. Good way to get the day started, and of course, the jokes!

              NS, you're coming on 2 year anniversary soon or now? I think I joined in Jan 2013 but didn't stop till May. No matter how long, boy it sure is good to be in control and not be controlled!

              Morning PQ, hope your eye affliction clears up. I've been reading an interesting book called "Take off your glasses and see". More than just about vision. It is interesting and I've just started. The idea that the eyes are our antenna and the first source of interpretation directly connected to the brain. I know it is the obvious, but I never think of things that literal. Anyway, a good winter time read.

              Have a great one everybody!

                Hi everyone - I am fine. Just don't feel like posting at the moment. Nothing wrong - just don't have anything to say on the thread. See you later.

                  Good morning everyone.

                  Great day here in Calgary.
                  Mick, I love Chinese food but it does me SO FAT! That was a good one.
                  Actually, I liked a lot of them.... boot camp, smuggling motorcycles, 20% off my hair cut.

                  Lav, glad you are feeling better.

                  Sam, make sure you tell us how that book is. It sounds really interesting.

                  Pauly, I sleep pretty good. Hope you can figure it out. Lots of people in my family have trouble with it too.

                  PQ, Have a great day. It is another warm one.

                  TT, have a great day too.

                  Talk soon,

                      Ok - Switch 2 of them on for different (fairly short) lengths of time and leave one off. The one that is off is off when you go in. Of the 2 lit ones, the one on the longest is the hottest. Would that work???

                            Trip to the ophthalmologist reveals a full blown iritis attack. He can't see the back of my eye so it's off for a CT scan on Monday.
                            Trip to the pharmacy after work so picking up take out for supper.
                            Will check in later......:smile:PPQP

                              Was very low energy most of the day. Seven consecutive days of below normal temps, gray skies, and rain are apparently my limit. Happy to say the sun did make a brief appearance this afternoon, and Friday's forecast looks good.

                              So Mick, your task, job, hobby, way of life is done outdoors, in the morning, (but not when it's raining), depending on the season. Is it related to agriculture, I wonder?

                              SL, wishing you luck with your handyman. The last three I contacted failed to show up, which is what got me started on the recent round of DIY projects.

                              Sam, would enjoy hearing more about your book. Today I ordered John Grisham's Gray Mountain from the library. There are 265 requests ahead of mine!

                              NS, I believe your light switch id method would work. Such a smart (sugarfree) cookie!

                              Hi Lav, Pauly, PQ, TT!
