Three Mysteries-Can You Solve Them?

MYSTERY NUMBER ONE

A man was found murdered Sunday morning.

His wife immediately called the police.

The police questioned the wife and staff and got these answers:

The wife said she was sleeping.

The cook was preparing breakfast.

The gardener was gathering vegetables.

The maid was getting the mail.

The butler was polishing shoes in the pantry.

The police instantly arrested the murderer.

Who did it and how did they know?

MYSTERY NUMBER TWO

A man walks into his bathroom and shoots himself right between the eyes using a real gun with real bullets.

He walks out alive, with no blood anywhere and no, he didn’t miss and he wasn’t Superman or any other crusader wearing a cape.

How did he do this?

MYSTERY NUMBER THREE

Old Mr. Teddy was found dead in his study by Mr. Fiend.

Mr. Fiend recounted his dismal discovery to the police: “I was walking by Mr. Teddy’s house when I thought I would just pop in for a visit. I noticed his study light was on and I decided to peek in from the outside to see if he was in there. There was frost on the window, so I had to wipe it away to see inside. That is when I saw his body. So I kicked in the front door to confirm my suspicions of foul play. I called the police immediately afterward.”

The officer immediately arrested Mr. Fiend for the murder of Mr. Teddy.

How did he know Mr. Fiend was lying?

ANSWERS:

1. It was the maid. She said she was getting the mail, but there is no mail delivery on Sunday.

2. He shot his reflection in the bathroom mirror.

3. Frost forms inside of the window, not the outside. So Mr. Fiend could not have wiped it off to discover Mr. Teddy’s body.

Did you get them right?
A Lesson in Financial Planning

Dan was a single guy living at home with his father and working in the family business. When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed a wife with whom to share his wealthy future.

Soon one evening at an investment meeting he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her stunning beauty took his breath away. With his heart beating wildly, he went up to her and said, “I may look like just an ordinary man, but in a few short years my father will die, and I’ll inherit $200 million.”

Impressed, the woman obtained his business card, smiled, and kissed him on the cheek.

Three days later, she became his stepmother.

Women are so much better at financial planning than men.

You Know You’re Grown Up When…

Your houseplants are alive, and you can’t smoke any of them.

Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.

You keep more food than beer in the fridge.

Six a.m. is when you get up, not when you go to bed.

You hear your favorite song in an elevator.

You watch the Weather Channel.

Your friends marry and divorce instead of “hook up” and “break up.”

You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.

Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as “dressed up.”

You’re the one calling the police because those %$#&*^ kids next door won’t turn down the stereo.

Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.

You don’t know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.

Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.

You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald’s leftovers.

Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.

Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.

Eating a basket of chicken wings at three a.m. would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach.

You go to the drugstore for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.

A $4.00 bottle of wine is no “pretty good.”

You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.

“I just can’t drink the way I used to” replaces “I’m never going to drink that much again.”

Ninety percent of the time you spend in front of the computer is for real work.

You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.

When you find out your friend is pregnant, you congratulate her instead of asking, “Oh, crap, what the hell happened?”

Bonus: You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn’t apply to you-and can’t find one.

MIND MASS
A study just released by the prestigious Institute of Physical Intelligence strongly indicates that thoughts contain mass and that the utilization of thought can reduce brain mass.

The study, conducted on 76 subjects, was performed with highly sophisticated brainwave and infinite mass spectrographometers capable of detecting the most minute (0.1 x 10 -24 angstrom units) particles.

While these delicate instruments are normally utilized for the measurement of small particles, in this study the objective was to determine the mass of thought. The completion of the initial study led to the following release:

The Institute of Physical Intelligence has released the tentative results of a study promising to revise current brain and cranium function.

The study was initiated with the premise that “Brain function is carried out by electron exchange, which modifies the molecular structure, depleting the mass with use. Hence, when thought occurs, mass is lost, i.e. used, therefore the mass of the brain is reduced through thought.” The parallel significance is that as mass is volume, within the same specific gravity, the size of the brain is reduced with the depreciation of mass.

The corresponding explanation is “the mind has a certain quantity of thought available to it, and as these are used and go away, they are disposed of, hence there is a lesser quantity of thought remaining. As it is being established that thought has a volume, albeit very minute, the result is, that as thoughts are used, the mind is of lesser mass and will then be of less volume.”

In lay language this means the more you think the smaller the brain becomes, hence the skull becomes less large.

SHE HAS DESTROYED MY FISHING PLEASURE
Saturday morning I got up early, dressed quietly, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, slipped quietly into the garage to hook the boat up to the truck, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour.

The wind was blowing fifty mph. I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad throughout the day.

I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. There I cuddled up to my wife’s back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, “The weather out there is terrible.”

My loving wife of twenty years replied, “Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in it?”

I still don’t know to this day if she was joking, but I have stopped fishing.

Some of the artists of the 60’s and 70’s are revising their hits with new lyrics to accommodate aging baby boomers.
They include:

The Bee Gees—How Can You Mend a Broken Hip
Bobby Darin—Splish, Splash, I Was Havin’ a Flash

Bailouts Explained

Young Chuck in Montana bought a horse from a farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the horse the next day. The next day he drove up and said, “Sorry, son, but I have some bad news. The horse died.”
Chuck replied, “Well, then, just give me my money back.”
The farmer said, “Can’t do that. I went and spent it already.”
Chuck said, “Ok, then, just bring me the dead horse.”
The farmer asked, “What ya gonna do with him?”
Chuck said, “I’m going to raffle him off.”
The farmer said, “You can’t raffle off a dead horse!”
Chuck said, “Sure I can. Watch me. I just won’t tell any body he’s dead.”
A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, “What happened with that dead horse?”
Chuck said, “I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $998.”
The farmer said, “Didn’t anyone complain?”
Chuck said, “Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.”
Chuck now works for the government. He was the one who figured out how to “bail us out.”

Comments Made in the Year 1955 (Only 53 Years Ago!)

“I’ll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it’s going to be impossible to buy a week’s groceries for $20.”
“Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won’t be long before $2,000 will only buy a used one.”
“If cigarettes keep going up in price, I’m going to quit. Twenty-five cents a pack is ridiculous.”
“Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging 10 cents just to mail a letter?”
“If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store.”
“When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon? Guess we’d be better off leaving the car in the garage.”
“I’m afraid to send my kids to the movies anymore. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying “damn” in “Gone With The Wind,” it seems every new movie has either “hell” or “damn” in it.”
“I read the other day where some scientist thinks it’s possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas.”
“Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn’t surprise me if someday they’ll be making more than the President.”
“I never thought I’d see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They’re even making electric typewriters now.”
“It’s too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women are having to work to make ends meet.”
“It won’t be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work.”
“I’m afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business.”
“Thank goodness I won’t live to see the day when the Government takes half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we’re electing the best people to government.”
“The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.”
“There is no sense going on short trips anymore for a weekend. It costs nearly $15 a night to stay in a hotel.”
“No one can afford to be sick anymore. At $35 a day in the hospital, it’s too rich for my blood.”
“If they think I’ll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget it.”

Gentle Thoughts for Today

When I’m feeling down, I like to whistle. It makes the neighbor’s dog run to the end of his chain and gag himself.
A penny saved is a government oversight.
The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends.
The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.
He who hesitates is probably right.
Did you ever notice that the Roman Numerals for forty (40) are “XL”?
If you think there is good in everybody, you haven’t met everybody.
If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.
The sole purpose of a child’s middle name is so he can tell when he’s really in trouble.
There’s always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it. For example, I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don’t hurt.
Did you ever notice that when you put the two words “The” and “IRS” together, it spells “Theirs”?
Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me. I want people to know why I look this way. I’ve traveled a long way and some of the roads weren’t paved.
When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.
You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.
One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.
Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
First you forget names, then you forget faces. Then you forget to pull up your zipper. It’s worse when you forget to pull it down.
Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today, it’s called golf.
Lord, keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth. Amen.

Best of The InboxThe Importance of Walking
Walking can add minutes to your life. This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $5,000 per month.

My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. Now she’s 97 years old and we don’t know where the hell she is.

The only reason I would take up exercising is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

I joined a health club last year, spent about 400 bucks. Haven’t lost a pound. Apparently you have to go there.

I have to exercise early in the morning before my brain figures out what I’m doing.

I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

I have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them.

The advantage of exercising every day is that you die healthier. Read the rest of this article »
