Answers:
1. If you answered that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second!
2. If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again! Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST person?
3. Did you get 5000? The correct answer is 4100. Don't believe it? Check with your calculator!
4. Nunu? No, of course not. Her name is Mary.

Idiot Sighting #5
When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver's side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. "Hey," I announced to the technician, "it's open!" To which he replied, "I know--I already got that side."
Slogans
In the front yard of a funeral home: "Drive carefully. We'll wait."
Outside a muffler shop: "No appointment necessary. We hear you coming."
At an optometrist's office: "If you don't see what you're looking for, you've come to the right place."
In a non-smoking area: "If we see smoke, we will assume you are on fire and take appropriate action."
Most useless inventions
1. Solar Powered Flash Light
2. A black highlighter pen
3. Glow in the dark sunglasses
4. Inflatable anchor
5. Battery powered battery charger
6. Hand powered chainsaw
7. Inflatable dartboard
8. A pedal powered wheelchair
9. Braille driver's manual
10. Double sided playing cards

Math Trick: Phone Number
Originally found on getamused.com
Here is a math trick so unbelievable that it will stump you. Personally I would like to know who came up with this and why that person is not running the country.
1. Grab a calculator. (you won't be able to do this one in your head)
2. Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the area code)
3. Multiply by 80
4. Add 1
5. Multiply by 250
6. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number
7. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number again
8. Subtract 250
9. Divide number by 2
Do you recognize the answer??
