Lateral thinking
 

lets start off slow with this one.

Why is it better to have round manhole covers than square ones?

Re: Lateral thinking
 

just so that people can ask? :D

Re: Lateral thinking
 

because corners are scary... boo.

More then likely because the sewage pipes are round they figured it was just easier this way.

Re: Lateral thinking
 

anyone else?

Re: Lateral thinking
 

dont think so, move on

Re: Lateral thinking
 

so they can't fall in

A square manhole cover placed vertically could fall through the manhole if it was placed in the hole diagonally.

if you get what I mean

Yes! next
Deep in the forest was found the body of a man who was wearing only swimming trunks, snorkel and facemask. The nearest lake was 8 miles away and the sea was 100 miles away. How had he died?

Re: Lateral thinking
 

Fire fighting plane ala mythbusters??

Probably not, but thats all I could think of after seeing that episode

Re: Lateral thinking
 

Yes! Next
A man was walking downstairs in a building when he suddenly realized that his wife had just died. How?

Re: Lateral thinking
 

I didn't understand that 2nd one...

Re: Lateral thinking
 

He pushed her down the stairs and killed her.. ??

Re: Lateral thinking
 

During a forest fire, a fire-fighting plane had scooped up some water from the lake to drop on the fire. The plane had accidentally picked up the unfortunate swimmer.

Re: Lateral thinking
 

O.K. I have to go to the store so....

The man had visited his wife in hospital. She was on a life-support machine. As he was walking down the stairs all the lights went out. There had been a power cut and the emergency back-up systems had failed. He knew that she had died.

Re: Lateral thinking
 

And here I was thinking that he saw her go sailing by after she jumped off the top of the building.

Re: Lateral thinking
 

I'm back, next

A man died and went to Heaven. There were thousands of other people there. They were all naked and all looked as they did at the age of 21. He looked around to see if there was anyone he recognised. He saw a couple and he knew immediately that they were Adam and Eve. How did he know?

Re: Lateral thinking
 

because you are in heaven you should know these things already?

Re: Lateral thinking
 

He recognized Adam and Eve as the only people without navels. Because they were not born of women, they had never had umbilical cords and therefore they never had navels.

Re: Lateral thinking
 

the didn't have belly buttons.... :)

Re: Lateral thinking
 

Good job!

A man rode into town on Friday. He stayed for three nights and then left on Friday. How come?

Re: Lateral thinking
 

Alright don’t dig to deeply into this one. I have to go to bed now so I can ride into work tomorrow on Friday in the snow on I94 East. I will be back tomorrow on Tuesday night.

Re: Lateral thinking
 

Next one;

What's wrong with this thread?

Re: Lateral thinking

Re: Lateral thinking
 

The man's horse was called Friday

Re: Lateral thinking
 

A man went to a party and drank some of the punch. He then left early. Everyone else at the party who drank the punch subsequently died of poisoning. Why did the man not die?

Re: Lateral thinking
 

He was the one who poisoned it?

Re: Lateral thinking
 

They all drank poisoned punch, but he had been building up an immunity to iocaine for years.

Re: Lateral thinking
 

A man lives on the 24th floor of an apartment building. In the morning he takes the elevator from the 24th floor to the first floor. When he comes home at night he takes the elevator from the 1st floor to the 18th floor, and then walks up the stairs to the 24th floor. Why?

Re: Lateral thinking
 

Poision was in the still frozen ice cubes.

Re: Lateral thinking
 

MIGIT!!!!

Re: Lateral thinking
 

Here's another one I heard a while ago.

How far can you run into a forest?

Re: Lateral thinking
 

And to think, I looked smart for a second there.

Re: Lateral thinking
 

Half way then you running out.

Re: Lateral thinking
 

Halfway then after that your running out.

Re: Lateral thinking
 

What can you put into a bucket to make it lighter? You can see it and touch it.
