"A guy is sitting in some foreign country in death row awaiting his execution the next day. The executioner decides to grant him one last favor; he'll give him a choice in the execution method. The prisoner is therefore allowed to make one last statement. If this statement is true, he'll be hanged the next day. If however his statement is false he will be beheaded the next day. What should the prisoner say?" I will be beheaded tomorrow  | |||

"What's the last thing that goes through a bug's mind when it hits the windscreen of your car?" Its butt!
OK, I read this in a joke book when I first came to the country, and I could not, for the life of me, understand why a bug thinking about its butt in its last moments of life is so funny.
I just put it down to the fact that the word "butt" was funny? Lol
I also thought English people were weird for having ceiling wax. I mean, I get that you need to wax floors, but why ceilings too?
I was an odd child. | |||

"OK, an ever so slightly mathy one (but very basic maths, and still mainly lateral thinking): Four people, A, B, C, and D, are on one side of a bridge, and they all want to cross the bridge. However, it's late at night, so you can't cross without a flashlight. They only have one flashlight. Also, the bridge is only strong enough to support the weight of two people at once. The four people all walk at different speeds: A takes 1 minute to cross the bridge B takes 2 minutes C takes 5 minutes D takes 10 minutes When two people cross together, sharing the flashlight, they walk at the slower person's rate. How quickly can the four cross the bridge?" 20 mins?  | |||
