    An Old Brain Teaser For you..by Flo

    A man lives on the 10th floor of a block of flats. Every morning he gets into the lift, presses the Ground Floor button, walks out of the building to the corner shop and buys his newspaper. He goes back to his block of flats, gets into the lift, presses the 7th Floor button, gets out at 7th Floor takes the stairs and walks up the final 3 floors......why?

    You don't say where he gets the lift to go down? He has to walk down 3 flights before getting into the lift??
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    He gets into the lift on the 10th floor where his flat is.

    I think I've heard this one before. Is it cos he's really short and can only reach the 7th floor button?

    I heard it slightly differently as he could only take the lift to the 10th floor when it was raining (he used his umbrella to reach the button)

    A desiel train is traveling north at 50mph and on the opposit direction another desiel train is traveling south at 50mph. Both stop at a distance of 50 feet away and it is 12:50pm. What did the drivers have on their sandwiches?
    They look at me and think I'm cool, I'm purplefan at night I rule.
