I sent these to my Dad to tell at his nursing home!

There are great! Thanks.

1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him? The room with the lions that haven't eaten in 3 years...they'd be dead! 2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be? She shot him with a camera, developed the print and hung the print up to dry? 3. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away? No idea. You got me on this one. 4. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday? Yesterday, today and tomorrow. 5. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching! There's no letter "e" anywhere in the paragraph!
