more brain teasers

[LordOfDarkness]

Someone asked me to give answers for these brain teasers. (I'm gonna cheat) can you help me?

"If you know these answers, you are a genius...


Why does your gynecologist leave the room when you get undressed?

If a person owns a piece of land do they own it all the way down
to the core of the earth?

Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?

Is it possible to brush your teeth without wiggling your rear?

Why is it called Alcoholics Anonymous when the first thing you
do is stand up and say, "My name is Clyde, and I am an alcoholic?"

Why are they called stairs inside but steps outside?

Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

If croutons are stale bread, why do they come in airtight packages?

Why does mineral water that "has trickled through mountains for
centuries" have a use by date?

Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a
horrible crisp no-one would eat?"

Women can't put on mascara with their mouths closed because holding their mouth open results in their eyeballs remaining still.

I know the crouton one....if they are not in an air tight package they get soft!

we have a light in the freezer as well





and... water has a use-by date because it is bottled. all packed food items or beverages must have a use-by date. water can go "bad" as well if stored too long.

Hey my freezer has a light in it!

Why does your gynecologist leave the room when you get undressed?
Modesty's sake, it lets you get accustomed to being vunerable before having to face somebody.
If a person owns a piece of land do they own it all the way down
to the core of the earth?
No, the mineral rights to the core of the earth, etc have not yet been sold to anyone.
Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?
Holds the eyeball still and angles the eyelids to a better position.
Is it possible to brush your teeth without wiggling your rear?
Yes, I don't know why you would wiggle.
Why is it called Alcoholics Anonymous when the first thing you
do is stand up and say, "My name is Clyde, and I am an alcoholic?"
Because you do not discuss other members of the group outside the safety of the meetings.
Why are they called stairs inside but steps outside?
So you can tell where the item you need to run up the offending pieces of wood is located. Inside or outside.
Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?
We have a light in both.
If croutons are stale bread, why do they come in airtight packages?
Because of Bactiria and humidity. They'd go soft and moldy otherwise.
Why does mineral water that "has trickled through mountains for
centuries" have a use by date?
Rocks and Plastic lend different tastes to water. Plastic doesn't taste too plesant, and water can go stale in plastic.
Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a
horrible crisp no-one would eat? To make sure you know what setting to put it one under.

Why does your gynecologist leave the room when you get undressed? AMA says he has too

If a person owns a piece of land do they own it all the way down
to the core of the earth? Just down to the mantle

Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?
Its all in the tongue

Is it possible to brush your teeth without wiggling your rear?
Stop starin!

Why is it called Alcoholics Anonymous when the first thing you
do is stand up and say, "My name is Clyde, and I am an alcoholic?" Got me on this one

Why are they called stairs inside but steps outside?
stairs..from "stairway or stairwell"

Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?
I have lights in both

If croutons are stale bread, why do they come in airtight packages? They will get moldy and soft

Why does mineral water that "has trickled through mountains for
centuries" have a use by date?
pass...

Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a
horrible crisp no-one would eat?"
For the charcoal connoisseur

 

[LordOfDarkness]

everybody passes

If a person owns a piece of land do they own it all the way down
to the core of the earth?

-------In Texas, for example, what your house sits on, includes the mineral rights thereof - here's the legal catch...the minerals have to be mined on your land. Eg - drilling for oil in the Arun Fields in Indonesia by Mobil means Mobil has to share the spoils with Indonesia, even if Indonesia doesnt come out with a cent. the limits are *how deep* down your land title deed accords you - defined by countries own laws.


Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?

------you can still move your eyeballs whilst your mouth remains open. the eye lids belong to the face, so if one opens their mouth wide, the facial skin remains taut...easier to steady and reduce the instinctive blink.

Is it possible to brush your teeth without wiggling your rear?

-----if you attempt to brush your molars, you will wiggle your ear indiscriminately (lower jaw moves the ears when jaw is open). try attaching a clothes peg (or galfrens' clipon earrings) and watch it in the mirror. er... wiggling the ear, not the rear..actually.....sorry typo error



Why are they called stairs inside but steps outside?

-----stairs pertain to those steps which exceed 5. it's a way of saying how many...eg *flight of* precedes stairs rather than steps

Why does mineral water that "has trickled through mountains for
centuries" have a use by date?

----Perrier is from the ground, Evian is from glaciers. natural evaporation and movement always maintains water freshness. when water is still, it goes bad, esp so with boiled water after 3 unfrigerated days...and unless you have contamination - God help us.

Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a
horrible crisp no-one would eat?

----actually, this depends on the ambient temperature of the environment...eg eskimos aint going to get nicely toasted bread at medium settings, and breads with less yeast-activated content will toast brown much later than white bread


----hey...good work!

By request, here's an old puzzle... with a little twist:

Mr. D'Oliveiro has bought four cars - Merc, Honda, Ford, Zen - as presents for his sons' birthdays, all of which are next week when Merc launches its new series. Given the following information, what will each son get?

Alan will not get the Honda unless Barry gets the Merc and Denzil gets the Ford. Barry will not get the Ford unless Carl gets the Zen and Alan gets the Merc. Denzil will not get the Zen unless Alan gets the Honda and Barry gets the Merc. Alan will not get the Merc unless Carl gets the Zen and Denzil gets the Ford. Barry will not get the Merc unless Alan gets the Zen and Denzil gets the Ford. Alan will not get the Zen unless Barry gets the Honda and Carl gets the Merc. Carl will not get the Zen unless Barry gets the Honda and Alan gets the Ford. Alan will not get the Ford unless Barry gets the Zen and Denzil gets the Honda. Carl will not get the Merc unless Denzil gets the Honda.
