HUMOR

PROFESSIONAL QUIZ

The following short quiz consisits of four questions and tell you whether you are truly a "professional". The questions are not that difficult.

1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?
Correct answer: Open the refrigerator, put the giraffe in and close the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.
2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?
Wrong answer: Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant and close the door.
Correct answer: Open the refigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your actions.
3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend except one. Which animal does not attend?
Correct answer: The elephant. The elephant is in the refigerator. This tests your memory. Even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your abilities.
4. There is a river you must cross, but it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you get across?
Correct answer: You swim across. All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting. This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

Archibald, a Beartown farmer, had a nagging wife who made his life miserable. One day when he was out cutting wood, his wife brought lunch to him.
Then she stayed while he quietly ate and berated him with a constant stream of nagging and complaining. Suddenly, Archibald's old horse kicked up his hind legs, striking the wife in the head, and killing her instantly.
At the wake, Archibald's minister noticed that when the women offered their sympathy to Archibald he would nod his head up and down, but when the men came up and spoke quietly to him, he would shake his head from side to side.
When the wake was over and all the mourners had left, the minister approached Archibald and asked, "Why was it that you nodded your head up and down to all the women and shook your head from side to side to all the men?"
