A snowman melted.

A man lives on the twelfth floor of an apartment building.  Each day, he rides the elevator down to the first floor on his way to work.  In the evenings, he rides the elevator to the fifth floor, and then walks up the remaining flights of stairs to his apartment.  When it rains, however, the man rides the elevator all the way up to the twelfth floor upon returning home.  Explain.

He's a midget!!!

Actually, Deallus got it and told me to post it over MSN. Credit goes to him. =)

lol he uses an umbrella to press the 12th number.

The boy's mother.

  He's a midget, he's not retarded, I'm just saying it isn't logical.   :)

He suffocated...

Ana and Billy were in a room when suddenly, they both died from suffocation.  When the people saw them dead, they were dumbfounded.  Water was all over the ground, and glass shards were scattered around the dead.

How did they die and tell me your reasoning?

very nice. i was stuck lol

He walked straight into a metal bar, the dumbass.

@Quiettone - Good work...

Alright... either Osama Bin Laden came over and shot it with a bazooka, or someone ran over it with a car.  I say the terrorist did it...

@Zyrike's Question
O_o

Frozen plane poopy.. just like of joe dirt

Two mother's and two daughters walk into a shoe store, they try out many shoes and then pick the ones they want. They all buy a pair but only three pair's of shoes were bought.

How is it possible?

Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance. So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room. A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5. He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in. The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends. He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day! Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent. Where did the other dollar go????

thank u =)

no, i know the answer. im asking to see if you can figure it

i swear it was frozen poop, or maybe the thingy went though the turbine

very nice. most people get confused by it lol

I guess that calculation seems right but is wrong. Only thing I can think of at the moment.

Blah, gotta go to bed now ;p

Lord Azaruc is right when he says there isn't a problem.

hotel 25 + bellhop 2 + guests 3 = 30

Thats why right after that Karac acknowledged it. The 2+27 at the end is just to confuse people.

sweet! that was a guess lol
