1. Mrs. Johnson slept on a waterbed. Her assailant used the scissors to cut the bed open and drown her.
2. It was a girl's hockey team.
3. Neither. Contrary to what most people think, the first day of the 21st century will be January 1, 2001, not January 1, 2000. The beginning of a century will start with the year one, not the year zero.
4. The word short.
5. All of them.

1. 40 degrees Fahrenheit. At 20 degrees Fahrenheit the water woulld be ice.
2. There is one groove on each side. When you put the needle on the album it follows one groove from the beginning to the end. If there was more than one groove, the needle would stop at the end of each groove, which happens to be the situation when a needle finds a good scratch.
3. One hundred. By working backwarrds, the answer becomes very easy. Nine-tenths of a thousand is nine hundred and eight-ninths of nine hundred is eight hundred etc.,all the way down to the final answer of one hundred.
4. It should be pronounced ( Volume Nine ).
5. The answer of course is zero. You will not find unlisted phone numbers in a phone directory.
6. Twenty one. Most people would think there were 42 handshakes, but when A shakes hands with B, B has already shaken hands with A and need not do it again.
Good job J

1. Sam Slug got out of jail and pushed his car to the St. James Place Hotel. When he arrived he realized he was bankrupt. How could his financial disaster be explained?
2. In Okmulgee, Oklahoma, you cannot take a picture of a man with a wooden leg. Why not?
3. West Side Billy was bragging about his church's baseball team. He said, " Three of our players hit home runs and two of those home runs were hit with the bases loaded. Our guys won 9 to 0 and not a single man crossed home plate " How is this possible?
4. Brunt rode his bicycle 300 kilometers. Three tires were used equally in accumulating this distance. How many kilometers of wear did each tire sustain?
5. Charlie Chromedome went for a walk without an umbrella. He did not wear a hat and he did not take refuge under a shelter; yet, not one hair on his head got wet. How was this possible?
6. For several days a man stood in the parking lot looking up at the apartment building across the street. This man was becoming a nuisance and one of the tenants of the building phoned the local authorities to have the man removed. Several days later when the authorities finally responded to the call, the man was gone. All they found was a couple of buttons an his hat. Who was the man they just missed?
Good luck

1. Slug was playing Monopoly. When he landed on the St. James Place Hotel, he was wiped out.
2. You cannot take a picture of a man with a wooden leg anywhere - you need a camera.
3. They were all married.
4. 200 kilometers. For every kilometer travelled, each of the two tires sustained one kilometer of usage.
Therefore, in a total of 300 kilometers travelled, there would be a total of 600 kilometers of wear. And 600 divided by three is 200.
5. It wasn't raining.
6. He was a snowman who was standing in one of the tenant's parking spots.
