How Many Bricks?:
How many bricks does it take to complete a building made of brick?
Only one – regardless of the size of the building, “to complete” a building it takes only one last brick.
Clasped Hands:
How can you clasp someone’s hands together in such a manner that they cannot leave the room without unclasping them?
Put their hands around a stationary object in the room, which will keep them from leaving the room unless they open their hands.
Night Watchman:
One morning a man is leaving on business trip and finds he left some paperwork at his office. He runs into his office to get it and the night watchman stops him and says, “Sir, don’t get on the plane. I had a dream last night that the plane would crash and everyone would die!” The man takes his word and cancels his trip. Sure enough, the plane crashes and everyone dies. The next morning the man gives the watchman a $1,000 reward for saving his life and then fires him. Why did he fire the watchman that saved his life?
He was fired for sleeping on the job!
