"It's that time of year to take our annual seniorcitizen test."
Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles.
As we grow older, it's important that we keep mentally alert
The saying; "If you don't use it, you will lose it" also applies to the brain, so..
Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence.
So, take the following test presented here anddetermine if you are losing it or are still "with it,"
The spaces below are so you don't see the answers until you have made your answer.OK, relax, clear your mind and ... begin.
WELL MAYBE NOT THAT CLEAR!
1. What do you put in a toaster? Answer: "bread." If you said "toast," then give upnow and go do something else. Try not to hurt yourself. If yousaid, "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," pleasedo not attempt the next question. Your brain is obviouslyover stressed and may even overheat. It may be that you need to content yourself with reading something more appropriate such as Children's World. If you said "water" then proceed to question 3.
3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a bluehouse is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricksand a black house is made from black bricks, what is a green house madefrom?Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said"green bricks," what the devil are you still doing here reading these questions?????If you said "glass," then 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 of the engines fail. The pilot, realizingthat the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crashlanding procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he has time 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 or West Germany or in "no man's land"?
Answer: You don't, of course, bury survivors.
If you said ANYTHING else, you are a real dunce and you must NEVER try to rescue anyone from a plane crash. Your efforts would not be appreciated.
If you said, "Don't bury the survivors", then proceed to the next question.
