Lateral thinking
lets start off slow with this one.
Why is it better to have round manhole covers than square ones?

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
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

Re: Lateral thinking

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?

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
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
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
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.
