<div align="center">First Question:
You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?

Add another 1000. Now add 20 . Now add another 1000
Now add 10. What is the total?


Scroll down for answer.....

Did you get 5000?

<div align="center">Okay, now the bonus round:

A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing his teeth he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.
Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair of sunglasses; how does HE indicate what he wants?

He just has to open his mouth and ask....
It's really very simple.... Like you! </div id="center">

As somebody who works with dementia sufferers, I must say I find this post to be in very poor taste. Didn't we used to have a link to report inappropriate posts to a moderator?

I fully understand it must be stressful at times working with dementia sufferers.
But this is a fun /joke area, in my opinion no way is this being disrepectful or in bad taste.
Please accept this in the spirit it is intended just a bit of fun [msnwink]

My thanks to whoever changed the thread title.

I did as I would hate to offend anyone, my F-I-L suffered with dementia towards the end but when lucid had a great sense of humour and usually at his own expense and about his mind.

This was post was aimed at no group in particular, just a bit of relaxation and as Luckylady states a bit of fun, nothing more, nothing less.
