Gray is it a torch?

[Gray]

Nope.

[Eman]

Gray, you jokes are so funny, thanks for making me laugh!!!

[Gray]

No worries, Eman!
But can you think of something you put in a box to make it lighter?
I am really hoping I have got you all with this!
No googling either!

[Marian]

Is Karl on the right road Gray? I'm going to try a lit match or candle.

[Eman]

Sorry, but a feather??

[Gray]

Marian, you are getting there, well done!

The answer to the question "what do you put in a box to make it lighter?", is......

A Hole

[karl]

I was going to say that!!!!!

[Marian]

Ohhh Gray.... Very clever of Holly. You certainly got everyone stumped!

[Gray]

Thank you, Marian.

Here is the reply I gave Holly:
"OK clever clogs, try this Maths puzzle. If you have 6 apples in one hand, and 6 in the other, what have you got?"
"12 apples!"
"No, the correct answer is big hands"

.From The Local Cab Drivers Mag.

A farmer stopped at the local mechanics shop to get his truck fixed
They couldn't do it while he waited, so he said he didn't live far and would just walk home.
On the way home he stopped at the hardware store and bought a bucket and a gallon of paint. He then stopped by the feed store and picked up a couple of chickens and a goose..
However struggling outside the store he now had a problem -how to carry his entire purchases home. While he was scratching his head he was approached by a lttle old lady who told him that she was lost. She asked, can you tell me how to get to 1603 Mockingbird Lane.? The farmer said well as a matter of fact my farm is fairly close to that house. I would walk you there but I can't carry this lot.
Well the old lady suggested ..why don't you put the can of paint in the bucket, carry the bucket in one hand , put a chicken under each arm and carry the goose in your other hand .
Why.. thank you very much he said and proceeded to walk the old girl home.
On the way he said. lets take this short cut and down this alley and we'll be there in no time.
The little old lady looked him over cautiousy the said...I'm a lonely widow without a husband to defend me How do I know that when we get in the alley you won't hold me up against the wall, lift up my skirt and have your way with me
The farmer said ; Holy Smoke lady I'm carrying a bucket, a gallon of paint Two chickens and a goose. How in the world could I possibly hold you up against a wall, lift up your skirt and do that.
The old lady replied.. Set the goose down, cover him with the bucket, put the paint on top of the bucket and i'll hold the chickens.

A rollicking funny story, L&H, though it didn't quite have me rolling
on the floor a la Eman. As you know I like to give jokes a title,
so if you'll forgive me I would name it: Mockingbird Machinations.
