Trick Questions...

[LilLoaf]

This isnt really a quiz kinda of question more a general wonder but i thought it pointless to start a new thread because someone will probs no the answer straight away. Here it is.
What is that closed station between Swindon (The Yorkshire one) and Meadowell. I think its in the Rotherham area. You pass it on the mainline on any XC service. Whats the name of it? and when did it close ?

The crying man riddle:
You whiz around the corner in your rented moped when suddenly you're forced to come to a sudden stop.
It seems a funeral procession has stopped for a quick breather. Empathy overwhelms you and you offer your condolences to the whimpering man nearby. "Were you close?" you ask, wishing you hadn't.
After a moment, the man replies, "Brothers and sisters I have none, that man's father is my father's son."
That sounds sarcastic, you think to yourself. Maybe the guy doesn't want to tell you, which is fine, but there's no reason to be a smartass about it.
Or, perhaps the clever among can see this is the real answer.

Doesn't it mean it's his son? :???:

 

[generalvegitable]

[Daimler]

o.k here is a maritime style one:
The captain of a big ship was telling this interesting story: "Once I saw two marines standing on the opposite sides of the ship. One was looking to the west and the other one to the east. And they saw each other very well."
How can that be possible?

 

[me123]

The one on the East side of the ship was looking West, and the one on the West side of the ship was looking East.

 

[90019]

They're looking towards each other; he doesnt say which one's facing which way.

 

[generalvegitable]

again i picked the too obvious one

Here mine:

A learner driver was going down a one way street the wrong way; but yet she wasnt breaking any laws.

here's one:
That attorney is my brother, testified the accountant. But the attorney testified he didn't have a brother. Who is lying?

 

[90019]

Neither, the accountant's a woman.

 

[D306]

yep. here's another
The Mississippi River is the dividing line between Tennessee and Arkansas. If an airplane crashed exactly in the middle of the Mississippi River there, where would the survivors be buried?

 

[90019]

The survivors aren't dead.

 

[D306]

close enough. you can't bury survivours

 

[90019]

Same thing, really.

And you can bury survivors, they just probably won't be very happy about it if you do.

An Egyptologist goes to Egypt to discover a new egyptian tomb, he opens it and yet everything is from the modern day, and the body was buried last Tuesday...

Why is everything modern?

 

[90019]

Because it's a new Egyptian tomb

 

[me123]

here's one:
That attorney is my brother, testified the accountant. But the attorney testified he didn't have a brother. Who is lying?

I know this has been answered, but I'd guess: the attorney for obvious reasons
