i have one but its not too good lol

A father and his son are out driving one day, and get in an accident. Both are knocked out, but are alive, so they get sent to the hospital. The father goes to one room, the son into another. The doctor that is going to operate on the son walks in, and says “I can’t operate on this boy, he’s my son.” How is this possible, if the father is knocked out in another emergency room?

some people just can NOT get this, others get it immediately…

A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three doors: Behind the first door is a raging fire, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven’t eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him and why?

Be you ever so quick, with vision keen, by your eyes, we are never seen. Unless perchance it should come to pass, you see our reflection in a looking glass. What are we?

A plane full of US Residents takes off from Boston, Massachusetts heading towards Alaska. Unfortunately, it runs into engine trouble somewhere over New York, and begins to lose altitude. The pilot tries to control the descent, but the plane crashes right at the border between the US and Canada. Where did they bury the survivors?

ooh i got another one.

There’s a town where everything is pitch black. The walls are pitch black, the streets are pitch black, the plants are pitch black, the ground is pitch black, EVERYTHING is pitch black. A pitch black car is driving down the road, and a pitch black dog jumps out in front of it. The cars headlights are broken, so its not lighting up the road. The car swerves effortlessly and misses the dog. How did the driver know the dog was there?

My parents use to make me sit down and do riddles for an hour a day when I was little, so I’m kinda good at them.

I was kinda proud I got this one too:

What do you use to hoe a row, slay a foe, and wring with woe?

A cowboy checks into a motel on Friday, stays two days, and leaves on Friday. How is this possible?

I can take you to another place that’s neat,
Or in a restaurant, hold your seat.
I can tell you about a company’s numbers,
Or find a hotel room for your slumber.
If I’m thrown at you, you must have been really bad,
But if your enter my good side, you’ll always be glad.
Policemen use me as you might tell,
They use me when you don’t park so well!

A man leaves home, goes straight, makes a left turn, goes straight, makes another left turn, goes straight and makes yet another left turn, and sees two men in masks. What is this man’s job?

sorry guys, its “book”

novel takes you places,
book a table at a restaurant,
phone book for numbers,
book a hotel room,
book thrown at you,
in someone’s good book,
a police man books you.
