Old Mother Suzie

Old Mother Suzie had but one eye,
And a long tail that she would let fly.
Every time she went over a gap,
Part of her tail would get caught in a trap.
Who is Mother Suzie?

Epitaphs

Below are four epitaphs (writing on gravestones). From the writings, can you tell the occupation of each person?

1. Here lies Mortimer Bibbs.
He took part of ours and gave it to big brother, but he always had good form.

2. Here lies Dirk McDuff, who toppled giants with weapons of steel. If only he'd heard his partner's shout before the giants found their revenge.

3. Here lies Suzy Smelt. She constructed many a bomb but mostly brought smiles to our faces.

4. Here lies Ethel Grant. She spent her whole life fighting with what she will now become.

Solution

1. Mortimer was a tax man.
2. Dirk was a lumberjack (and died because he didn't hear his partner yell "Timber!").
3. Suzy was a comedienne.
4. Ethel was a maid, always fighting dust (referring to "ashes to ashes and dust to dust").

Boxing match

Two boxers are in a boxing match (regular
boxing, not kick boxing). The fight is
scheduled for 12 rounds but ends after 6
rounds, after one boxer knocks out the
other boxer. Yet no man throws a punch.
How is this possible?

Change a "mare" into "gold"

Change a "mare" into "gold" in five steps. At
each step you can only change one letter.
The word you create at each step must be a
real word. For example, change "dogs" into
"path":
DOGS : dots : pots : pits : pith : PATH
MARE : ____ : ____ : ____ : ____ : GOLD

Ping Pong in a Tube

You are in a room that is an 8x8x8 perfect cube. There are no windows, or doors (don't ask me how you got in there!) In the center of the floor there is a 12 inch pipe that is sticking 6 inches out of the floor. In the bottom of the pipe is a ping pong ball with a diameter that is one millimeter smaller than the inner diameter of the pipe. You have a 12 inch piece of string, a match, a magnifying glass, a 6" ruler and a paper clip. How do you get the ping pong ball out of the hole?
