Day Brightener- The Yearly Dementia Test (only 5 questions)
Yep, it’s that time of year again to take our annual senior citizen test.
Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older, it’s important to keep mentally alert. If you don’t use it, you lose it!
Here is a very private way to gauge how your memory compares to your last test. Some may think it is too easy, but the ones with memory problems may have difficulty.
Take this test to determine if you’re losing it or not. The space below are so you don’t see the answers until you’ve made your answer. OK, relax, clear your mind, and begin.
#1. What do you put in a toaster?
Answer: ‘bread.’ If you said ‘toast,’ just give up now, and go do something else. And, 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,’ don’t attempt the next question. Your brain is already over-stressed and may even overheat. Content yourself with reading more appropriate literature such as Women’s Weekly or Auto World. However, if you did say ‘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,’ why are you still reading this??? PLEASE, go lie down!!! But, if you said ‘glass,’ go on to Question #4.
# 4. It’s twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany (If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany .) Anyway, during the flight, two engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he can do so and the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of “no man’s land” between East Germany and West Germany. Where would you bury the survivors? East Germany , West Germany , or no man’s land”?
Answer: You don’t bury survivors.
If you said ANYTHING else, you’re a dunce and you must stop. If you said, “You don’t bury survivors”, proceed to the next question.
# 5. Do not use a calculator for this: You are driving a bus from New York City to Philadelphia. In Staten Island, 17 people got on the bus. In New Brunswick, 6 people get off the bus, and 9 people get on. In Windsor, 2 people get off, and 4 get on. In Trenton, 11 people get off and 16 people get on. In Bristol, 3 people get off, and 5 people get on. And, in Camden, 6 people get off, and 3 get on. You then arrive at Philadelphia Station. Without going back to review, how old is the bus driver?
Answer: Oh, for crying out loud!!! Don’t you remember your own age?!? It was YOU, driving the bus!!!If you pass this along to your friends, pray that they do better than you. P.S.: 95% of people fail most of the questions!!!
Day Brightener – It Always Pays To Be In The Right Place
Father said to his daughter “You have graduated with honors, here is a car I bought many years ago. It is pretty old now. But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them I want to sell it and see how much they offer you for it.
”The daughter went to the used car lot, returned to her father and said, “They offered me $1,000 because the said it looks pretty worn out.”
The father said, now “Take it to the pawn shop.” The daughter went to the pawn shop, returned to her father and said,”The pawn shop offered only $100 because it is an old car.
”The father asked his daughter to go to a car club now and show them the car. The daughter then took the car to the club, returned and told her father,” Some people in the club offered $100,000 for it because “it’s an iconic car and sought by many collectors.
”Now the father said this to his daughter, “The right place values you the right way,” If you are not valued, do not be angry, it means you are in the wrong place. Those who know your value are those who appreciate you……Never stay in a place where no one sees your value.

These are from a book called “Disorder in the Court” and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while the exchanges were taking place.

Day Brightener – Try To Beat This Logic
A cowboy, who just moved to Montana from Texas, walks into a bar and orders three mugs of Bud. He sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more.
The bartender approaches and tells the cowboy, “You know, a mug goes flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a time.”
The cowboy replies, “Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in Arizona; the other is in Colorado. When we all left our home in Texas, we promised that we’d drink this way to remember the days when we drank together. So I’m drinking one beer for each of my brothers and one for myself.”
The bartender admits that this is a nice custom and leaves it there.
The cowboy becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way. He orders three mugs and drinks them in turn.
One day, he comes in and only orders two mugs. All the regulars take notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, “I don’t want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss.”
The cowboy looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in his eyes and he laughs. “Oh, no, everybody’s just fine,” he explains. “It’s just that my wife and I joined the Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking.”
“It hasn’t affected my brothers though.”
Day Brightener – Regardless Of Which Side Of The Political Isle You Prefer, This Should Resonate
My son was flunking out of college so i told him,, “you will marry the girl I choose.” he said, “no.”I told him, “she is Bill Gates’ daughter.” he said, “yes.”
I called Bill Gates and said, “I want your daughter to marry my son.” Bill Gates said, “no.” I told Bill Gates, “my son is the CEO of the world bank.” Bill Gates said, “yes.”
I called the president of the world bank and asked him to make my son the CEO. He said, “no.” I told him, “my son is Bill Gates’ son-in-law.” He said, “yes.”
And that’s exactly how politics works.
And thus, began the practice of hiring morons to work in influential positions of government. this practice remains unbroken to this day.
