[carrie]

Sorry guys this has nothing to do with florida but i have to have something to take my mind off my hols or i will go crazy, 104 days to go still.

A man is sitting at the bar in a pub looking at a photograph of a man.

2nd man walks over and says, who is that photo of?

1st man says, you will have to guess i will give you a clue.
'Brothers and sisters i have none, but this mansfather is my fathers son,

Who is the photo of?

see if you can guess, i had to be told the answer couldnt guess for the life of me.
have a good day.

104 days to go WHEE !!!!!!!!

I will hazzard a guess that the answer is that it is a picture of himself??

[walmsley_family]

His son

Absolutely correct. Since he has no bothers and sisters himself, the man in the bar will be the only offspring of his own father. So, when he says "This man's father is my father's son", the photo must be of his own son.

Just out of interest Carrie, where did you find this riddle? The first time I saw it was over 40 years ago in Arthur Mee's Children's Encyclopaedia. I've still got that collection.

Hi Nostromo, of course you are right it is himself, my dad told me this one, probably from the same source as you, he has loads of them, i will have to ask him for some more.

one more i know

a father and son are driving down the motorway, they have a crash, the father is killed and the som is rushed to the hospital, he is lying on the operating table and the surgeon walks in to the room, the surgeon takes one look at the boy and says "I cant operate on him he is my son, who is the surgeon?


You lot will get this one you load of clever clogs 103 and 1/2 days to go
Whee!!

"Hi Nostromo, of course you are right it is himself, "

Carrie I'm confused now I thought (and thought Nostromo did too that the picture was of his son not himself).

You've probably heard this one before but if not it might take your mind off Florida for 5 mins.

A man was found hanging, in an empty from a rafter 12 feet off the ground. The floor was completely bare except for a small pool of water just below him. The door was locked from the inside and the mans truck was parked outside the barn. The Coroners verdict was suicide....how did he manage it?
