The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and will tell you whether you are qualified to be a "professional."
 

 


1 How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.

 

 


2 How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Did you say, "Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the refrigerator?" Wrong Answer.

Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe put in the elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your previous actions.

 

 


3. The Lion King is hosting an Animal Conference. All the animals attend... except one .. Which animal does not attend?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him in there. This tests your memory.




Okay even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your true abilities.

 

 


4. There is a river you must cross but it is inhabited by crocodiles, and you do not have a boat. How do you manage it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correct Answer: You jump into the river and swim across. Have you not been listening? All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting. This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.


According to an undisclosed consulting firm, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong, but many preschoolers got several correct answers. The undisclosed consulting firm says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.

What does it mean if you don't like open-ended questions?
(ie: How big is the fridge? Is it a *real* Giraffe, or a toy?)  ;)

At family gatherings when the kids pull out the knock-knock jokes, I always pull out that old one and trump 'em all :D

Pete and Re-Pete are in a boat fishing.  Pete sets his rod down, and at that very moment, a fish takes his lure and his rod falls over the side of the boat.  Pete's fishing rod has been in his family for generations, and he's frantic!  He decides there's only one thing left to do, so he strips off his clothes and jumps into the water to see if he can get his fishing rod back.


Who's left in the boat?

Why can't an elephant ride a bicycle?










He doesn't have a thumb to ring the bell.

Dunno why, but my mother-in-law cracks up almost to the point of tears EVERY single time that joke is told. ::)

I cut up the girraffe and the elephant, got the elephant not attending correctly and shot all the crocks!  ;D
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen
