Hey, this is fun, take it as such and relax. <smile>


  Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles.
   As we grow older, it's important that we keep mentally alert. The saying;
   "If you don't use it, you will lose it," also applies to the brain,
so.....

   Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of
intelligence.
  Take the following test and determine if you are losing it
   or are still "with it."

   OK, relax, clear your mind and.... begin.

  1. What do you put in a toaster?

  Answer: "bread." If you said "toast," then give up now and go do
   something else. Try not to hurt yourself.

  If you said, "bread," go to Question 2.

          2. Say "silk" five times. Now spell "silk." What do cows drink?

  Answer: Cows drink water. If you said "milk," please do not attempt
   the next question. Your brain is obviously over stressed and may even
   overheat. It may be that you need to content yourself with reading
  something
   more appropriate, such as Children's World."

  If you said "water," proceed to question 3

  3. If a red house is made from red bricks, and a blue house is made
   from blue bricks, and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black
   house is made from black bricks, what is a green house made from?

  Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said, "green
   bricks," what are you still doing reading these questions?????

  If you said "glass," then go on to Question 4.

  4. Twenty years ago, a plane was flying at 20,000 feet over
   Germany. If you recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into
  West
   Germany and East Germany. Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines
   failed. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also
  failing,
   decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the third engine
fails
  before he has time to attempt an emergency landing, and the plane crashes
  smack
  in the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West Germany.

  Where would you bury the survivors? . . . in East Germany or West Germany
or
  in "no man's land"?

  Answer: You don't, of course, bury survivors. If you said ANYTHING
   else, you are a real dunce and you must NEVER try to rescue anyone from a
   plane crash. Your efforts would not be appreciated. If you said, "Don't
   bury the survivors," proceed to the next question.

  5. If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60 of a degree every minute
   how many degrees will the hour hand move in one hour?

   Answer: One degree. If you said, "360 degrees" or anything other
   than "one degree," you are to be congratulated on getting this far, but
you
  are obviously out of your league. Turn in your pencil, and exit the room.

  Everyone else proceed to the final question.

  6. Without using a calculator -- You are driving a bus from London
   to Milford Haven in Wales. In London, 17 people get on the bus. In
   Reading, six people get off the bus, and nine people get on. In Swindon,
  two
   people get off and four get on. In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16
people
  get on.
   In Swansea, three people get off and five people get on. In Carmathen,
six
  people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven.

  What was the name of the bus driver?

  Answer: Oh, for crying out loud! Don't you remember? It was YOU!

  Now pass this along to your "friends" and hope they do better than you
