It's cheesy riddle thread day

[skihard]

Ok I'm back with another cheesy one (had a hockey game to attend last night) anywho....

Q: A farmer and his hired help were carrying grain to the barn. The farmer carried one sack of grain and the hired help carried two sacks. Who carried the heavier load and why?

and for good measure this cheesy one as well

Q: George, Helen, and Steve are drinking coffee.
Bert, Karen, and Dave are drinking soda.
Using logic, is Elizabeth drinking coffee or soda?

yes even more cheese

Q: I run, but never get tired.
I have a bed, but since I never get tired I don’t sleep.
I have no money to speak of, yet still have a bank.

What am I?

not as cheesy as the others

Q: If, having only one match, on a freezing winter day, you enter a room which contained a lamp, a kerosene heater, and a wood burning stove, whcih should you light first?

#3 - a river

#4 - the match

#1 - the farmer, cuz he wants to get the grain moved, and the worker would be more likely to carry 2 empty sacks so that it would appear that he was working

#2 - Coffee

Fine. Up is above down.

Meh...you asked how high it is not where it is. I don't like it.

The correct answer is "twice the distance from the middle to either end".

Proof that pi is exactly 2!

Form the string into a circle. The distance from the middle to either end will be the diameter of the circle. But the length of the string is the circumference. We all know that circumference/diameter = pi. So here, pi=2.

1) The farmer, since he is dealing with the weight of the INS possibly deporting his help.

2) Elizabeth sounds more like a tea drinker to me.

#1 the famer because he is carring a sack of grain and the help is only carring 2 sacks.

#2 George, Helen, and Steve all have 2 "e"s in there name as does Elizabeth so she drinks coffee

#3 a river

#4 the match


Q: A man is lying dead with a backpack on, face down in the desert. What happened?

Q: It's yours, it belongs to know one else yet everyone uses it more than you do, what is it?

Q: Two cops walked into a room with no windows and found a dead man who obviously hung himself from the ceiling, though they couldn't figure out how. There was no chair beneath him that he might have jumped off of, or a table. Just a puddle of water. How'd he do it?

1) He stole from the mob and put the product of his work in the backpack. The mob captured him, drove him out to the desert and shot him.

2) My penis.

He peed his pants so hard that he shot himself upward and his necklace wrapped around the rafters.

The parachute didn't open?

He was unfortunate enough to run into my current avatar.

No fair working on a space with curvature.
