Common Sense
Smudgy here reminded me of a chain-riddle heard when I was a child. I’m not sure if I can deliver it perfectly now, but anyhow, here it is:
Q1: How do you put a Giraffe in a fridge?
Ans: Open the door, put Giraffe inside, close the door.
Q2: How do you put an Elephant in a fridge?
Ans: You blurted “open the door, put Elephant inside, close the door”? Wrong answer! The right answer is: Open the door, pull Giraffe out, put Elephant in.
See, common sense! Okay, third question. Don’t think for too long, though.
Q3: A freight plane is carrying electronics, suddenly it starts jolting. Pilot says that the plane is overloaded and we need to get rid of the heaviest item. What item would they throw out?
Ans: Fridge. Because it has elephant in it!
Q4: Today is Lion King’s birthday and every animal in the jungle is to attend his birthday party. Everyone’s there but one is missing. Can you tell who?
Ans: Elephant. Because he’s in the fridge, remember.
Easy one, eh?
Q5: A guy is standing beside a pool, just as he’s to jump into the water, he dies. Why?
Ans: Fridge falling from the sky hits him.
Q6: You’re to cross through a stream in the jungle filled with crocodiles. There’s no bridge or boat, how would you cross it?
Ans: Swim! Remember, crocodiles are attending Lion King’s birthday party!
I’m sorry if this causes mental torture, but if you’re a kid or just had an overdose of caffeine, I hope you can see the riddle through.
That exactly is common sense which itself is not so common…
