Head Scratchers 7

**Bumper** · 10-21-2006

1. What is it that someone else has to take before you can get it?

2. A night shift guard, while on patrol at night, dreams that the king will die in a plane crash. He tells the king so in the morning, but the king tells him not to worry, and flies anyway. When he returns from his trip, he fires the night shift guard. Why does the king fire the night shift guard?

3. You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What are you eating?

4. Who can shave 25 times a day and still have a beard?

5. What is 1/2 of 1/4 of 2/9 of 3/7 of 84?

6. My thunder comes before the lightning; My lightning comes before the clouds; My rain dries all the land it touches. What am I?

7.Where did the common "military salute" get its start?

8. If you have me you want to share me. If you share me you won't have me. What am I?

9. A butcher has a 36 inch waist around, and he is 5 feet tall. What does he weigh?

10.You get many of me, but never enough.
After the last one, your life soon will snuff.
You may have one of me but one day a year.
When the last one is gone, your life disappears.

What am I?
