$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('smallpoxgirl', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('PenultimateManStanding', 'H')ow far can a dog run into the woods?


About 100 yards. Then the bear eats him.
No, smartypants, halfway and then he's running out of the woods. This is one of my favorites, Jim where Bill had had had had had had had had had was right. Punctuate to make sense of it. It's old stuff for long term members here, but I thought the newbies might have fun to take a crack at it.

What question do you ask in order to find your way to the beautiful city?
You ask one, chosen at random, what would the other say? Then you go the other way. I love this stuff. How far can a dog run into the woods?

Half way. Then he starts running out the woods
You guys are just too freaking smart.

IT'S A BRAND NEW CAR!!! Check out this brand new BMW Z4 Roadster!!!

The BMW Z4 Roadster has classic roadster proportions, but combines them with a style that's all its own. The concave and convex lines create an intriguing interplay of light and shade, the striking nose bears a prominent double-kidney grille and the rear has an unmistakably sporty look. It all adds up to a roadster that's as thrilling to look at as it is to drive!



Well if you do own a Z4 or any BMW manufactured after 2004, please go out and push your SOS button. I work for BMW Assist, it's Friday night and I am stuck talking to all the drunks.

Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance. So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room. A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5. He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in. The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends. He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day! Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent. Where did the other dollar go?

No cat has eight tails. A cat has one tail more than no cat. Therefore, a cat has nine tails.

If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there, is there any sound?

1. If there was a hidden tape recorder recordeing it would there be a sound?

2. If the tape gets erased before anyone hears it, would there have been a sound?

If John McCain and Barack Obama campaigned in the woods, would anybody hear them?
