Quiz

Today I won a little reward for being the first one to answer a sort of quiz @work. In exchange, I came up with one of my own:

 

In a typical Wild West saloon, somewhere in the 1800s, in one late night three cowboys were playing poker at one of the tables. The setting was specific to those times, an oil lamp lit in the corner, other cowboys at the bar making jokes and drinking whisky, old wild-west typical three-legged wooden tables and chairs, the sheriff and his deputy at another table nearby.

 

Suddenly, a breeze of wind extinguishes the lamp that was lit in the corner and the whole saloon goes dark. A gunshot is heard and when the barman lights up the lamp again one of the three cowboys that were playing poker was lying on the ground, shot. The sheriff who was seated nearby comes to investigate. He asks one of the dead cowboy’s friends:

-      What were you doing when your friend was shot?

-      (without hesitation) …the table was moving so I put a match box under one of the legs to prevent it from shaking.

Sheriff seems happy with this answer so he goes to ask the second cowboy:

-      And what about you, what were you doing when your friend was shot?

-      (very much hesitant, avoiding to look the sheriff in the eye) …I was… I was trying to pull an ace out of my sleeve, to win this hand.

After he thinks everything over, the sheriff rises up in front of them and says: “One of the two of you is a liar”. After several seconds, he points his finger to one of the two cowboys and says: “You’ve killed him”.

Question for you is: How did the sheriff find out who’s the killer and trying to hide his crime with a lie?

Whoever gives the first answer correctly gets a reward. The same that I got, actually :D. You can pick it up from my desk

The MAAAAAAAN rules!

 

 

 

Browsing the internet I found these “rules” to help make a household more happy. Don’t know if it will work for most of you, but I am definitely going to give it a try

So here they are:

 

 

 

 

1. Men are NOT mind readers.

2. Learn to work the toilet seat. You’re a big girl. If it’s up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don’t hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

3. Sunday sports: it’s like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

4. Crying is blackmail.

5. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

6. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

7. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That’s what we do.

8. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

9. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.

10. In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.

11. If you think you’re fat, you probably are. Don’t ask our opinion.

12. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

13. You can either ask us to do something, or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

14. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

15. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

16. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.

17. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what a mauve is.

18. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

19. If we ask what is wrong and you say “nothing”, we will act like nothing’s wrong.

20. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

21. If you ask a question you don’t want an answer to, expect an answer you don’t want to hear.

22. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine… Really.

23. Don’t ask us what we’re thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, football, cars, computer, or… women.

24. You have enough clothes.

25. You have enough shoes.

26. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

27. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight…

28. …but did you know men really don’t mind that? It’s like camping.

29. Pass this to as many men as you can – to give them a laugh.

30. Pass this to as many women as you can – to give them a bigger laugh.
