THE LONG CATEGORY

1st - Tony Crafter with:
Read this question, come up with your answer and then scroll down to the bottom for the result. This is not a trick question. It is exactly as it appears. No one I know has got it correct yet - including myself.

A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met a guy she did not know. Yet she thought this guy was amazing, the perfect stereotype dream guy, and considered him to be just the type of man she had always wanted! Straight away, she fell completely in love with him, yet, unluckily, never asked for his name or a number and could not trace him. A few days later she killed her sister.

Question: What is her motive in killing her sister? (Give it some thought before you try to answer it).

SCROLL DOWN.

=

Answer: She was hoping that the man would appear at the funeral again.

If you answered correctly, then this shows that you think like a psychopath. This quiz was devised by a renowned American psychologist to test which of us have the same mentality as killers.

Several arrested killers did the test and the deranged nuts answered the question correctly.

If you didn't answer the question correctly, then good for you. If you got it right, then please let me know imminently so I can remove you from my mailing list forthwith; unless that will make you mad, in which case I'll just be downright extra-nice to you from now on. Be sure to share the test!

Do remember to let me know if you got it right!

2nd - Dharam Khalsa with:
Two elderly sisters were sitting out on a city park bench in front of a town hall where a flower show was in progress.

The older one said, "My life is getting boring. There's just no spice anymore. For ten dollars, IŐd take off my clothes and streak that stupid flower show!"

"You're on!" said the other old lady, holding up ten dollars.

The first old lady fumbled out of her clothes and ran bare-naked through the door into the show.
~
Her sister heard a commotion in the hall -- noisy applause, followed by loud hoots and howls. Soon the wrinkled lady flew swiftly out through the front door of the show on foot, surrounded by a jolly crowd of cheering, saluting New Yorkers.

"So, what happened?" grilled the eager sister still sitting comfortably out in front.

The streaker frowned, hesitated, and then shared, "I took First Place as Best Dried Arrangement."

3rd - Adie Pena with:

Dharam Khalsa with:
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt said in 1933: "There must be a strict supervision of all banking and credits and investments. There must be an end to speculation with other peopleŐs money."
=
This man was installed in 1933 into an era the present US crisis is most often compared to: the Great Depression. Banks and vulnerable ventures bellyflopped. Indeed, it took much intervention!

Dharam Khalsa with:
The innocent organist was in her eighties and had never been married. She was admired for her happiness and kindness to all.

One afternoon the pastor on duty came to see her. She showed him into her sitting room and invited him to have a seat while she boiled tea. As he sat facing her old Hammond organ, the young minister looked up and noticed a pretty cut-glass bowl sitting on top. The bowl was full of water, but on the water floated, of all things, a condom!

She returned with tea, colourful fruit and fatty cookies. While she began to pour, they talked about polite topics.~
The pastor tried to remember his manners, hush, and stifle his curiosity about the bowl and the strange floater. Soon it got the best of him and he could no longer resist.

"Miss Beatrice", he said calmly, "I wonder, can you tell me about this?" pointing to the condom in the bowl on top of the organ.

"Oh, Heavens yes!" she replied, "Isn't it wonderful? I was walking home a few months ago after a rehearsal and found a package on the ground. The directions said to place it on the organ, keep it wet, and it would prevent the spread of disease. And do you know that I haven't had the flu all winter!"

Rosie Perera with:
Broadcasters were careful to meet JapanŐs obscenity laws once he had climbed out of the water, masking images of his private parts with a blurry dot.=
Ascetical "Japan Today" made sure not to write direct words about the traveler's penis as they spoke of his charming, able, buff water gambol. Screw him!

Dharam Khalsa with:
John Adams, as two-term Vice President to George Washington: "My country has in its wisdom contrived for me the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived!"
=
I note: He was one of America's gifted Founding Fathers, however not contented, not overjoyed at winning that secondary VP stint. Historians commemorate his commitment, forgiving his criticism voiced in vain.

Dharam Khalsa with:
"Barack served on the board of the Annenberg Challenge with Bill Ayers, and Mrs. Annenberg, in fact, endorsed John McCain." Michelle Obama said, "That's part of politics."
=
Nevertheless, her man has become the object of personal character bombardment in angry, rabid and condescending townhall rallies that Palin is aiding. Back off!!

rp with:
John Adams, as two-term Vice President to George Washington: "My country has in its wisdom contrived for me the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived!" =
Dan Something-or-other, the thin misfit who served for GW's dad, wrote "potatoe" -- inviting stiff indictments ("No, its..."), mimics, cynics jeering at that naive communication on every occasion, and no one ever forgave him.

Dharam Khalsa with:
One evening a woman was driving in the vicinity of her recently married son's house and stopped by unannounced. She rang the doorbell and after a moment went ahead in. She was shocked to find her daughter-in-law laying there on the couch, totally naked. Soft music was playing and the scent of her sweet perfume filled the room.

"Oh! What are you doing?" the woman asked.

"I'm waiting for my husband to come home from work," the young daughter-in-law answered.

"But you're completely nude!" the older woman exclaimed.

"My husband calls this my Love Dress," the younger lady said. "He loves to find me wearing this."~
"It excites him to no end! He instantly becomes a wild party animal, wanting to ravage me forever, like a newlywed on a Cancun honeymoon," she giggled.

The busybody mother-in-law rushed home. She ran, undressed, showered, and sprayed on perfume. Then she dimmed the lights, put on a few romantic CDs, and lay on the couch to wait patiently for her husband.

Eventually the old man got home from work, downcast as usual. After noting his wife laying in the dark room on the couch, the baffled fellow asked, "What are you doing?"

"Wearing my Love Dress, Honey," the woman murmured seductively.

"Needs ironing," he said.

Dharam Khalsa with:
A blonde goes into a coffee shop and notices a 'peel and win' sticker on her cup.

She peels off the sticker and hugging a waitress dramatically screams, "Yay!! I've won a motorhome! I've won a motorhome!"

The waitress says, "Gosh, that's impossible. The grand prize is a Free Lunch!"

But the blonde yells again, "I've won a motorhome! I've won a motorhome!"
~
Finally, the coffee, egg and sandwich shop manager comes over. He offers his apologies, "Well, I'm sorry, but you're wrong. You couldn't possibly have won a motorhome, since we don't have that as a prize."

The blonde screams, "Liar!! No, it's not a mistake! I'm positive! I won a motorhome!"

She passes the ticket to the nice manager and he reads...

"W I N A B A G E L"

Dharam Khalsa with:
I borrow logic of clever fictional writer (liar?), Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens), 1894: "If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything."
=
"In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act," by George Orwell (Eric Arthur Blair) from his well-known novel of human commentary, 1984.

THE SPECIAL CATEGORY

1st - Adie Pena with:
We always hear 'the rules' from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. THESE ARE OUR RULES! Please note these are all numbered '1' ON PURPOSE!

1. Men are NOT mind readers. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. "Yes" and "No" are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 16 months is a problem. See a doctor.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. We think you are just fine otherwise we would have said something.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of them makes you sad or angry, then we meant the other one.

1. Anything we said six months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after seven days.
~
1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it properly done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. If possible, please say whatever you have to say during that rotten commercial.

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 predetermined colors, like pre-programmed Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. Men have no idea what teal or amber is.

1. If it itches, it shall be irreverently scratched. We do this. It's neat!

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say 'nothing,' we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying and offended; BUT it is just not worth the effort and stress. Besides men know you are a very tempersome tormentor and will bring it up again later.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. If we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... REALLY.

1. You have enough of the best, latest clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such smart topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or golf.

1. Me get in shape? Remember 'round' IS a shape!

1. Thanks for reading these statements. Treatise?!? Yes, I know I have to sleep on the sofa tonight; but men really don't mind. It's like camping.

2nd - Tony Crafter with:
Our Last Summer

3rd - Dharam Khalsa with:
If you still don't know what to be for Halloween, then here are ten great costumes from "film.com". All it takes is rummaging through your closet and a bit of creativity.

1. The Joker
No act drew as much attention this year as Heath Ledger's Joker. You'll need white face paint, black eye shadow, and temp spray hair color. A purple suit works if you can find one in a vintage shop. Apply red lipstick with your eyes closed for that maniacal touch.
* Bonus points if you get the voice down. "Wanna know how I got these scars?"

2. Sarah Palin
Just as there are three branches of government, there are three pieces needed to pull off Sarah Palin: glasses, a skirt suit, and a frozen-yogurt-swirl hairdo. Throw on lipstick and a flag pin and you're in business.
* Bonus points if you have bangs or a caribou carcass in tow.

3. Michael Phelps
You'll need a lot of self-confidence to pull this trick off. The key items are a Speedo, swim cap and goggles. Use bronzer to define your muscles so you can proudly display eight gold medals across your pecs.
* Bonus points if you bring along your mom.

4. Miley Cyrus
This queen of Disney is a lot more fun than those Disney princesses. Add extensions to your hair, squeeze into tight jeans and a sequined tank. Add a studded belt, cowboy boots, fingerless gloves and hoop earrings, and you're ready to pop-rock.
* Bonus points if you find a kinky guy to be your underwear model boyfriend.

5. Brangelina Baby
This costume works for just about any ethnicity. Dress in hip duds and brag about your globe-trotting, multi-millionaire parents. If you can, sport a faux-hawk.
* Bonus points if you find super-attractive kids to pose as your siblings.
~
6. Jonas Brothers
You'll have mobs of the hottest women worshipping you in your skinny jeans, skinny tie, skinny coat, skinny vest ... you get the idea. Wanna be legit? Wear promise rings.
* Bonus points if one of you has a glucose monitor.

7. Blair Waldorf
Pull that official private school uniform out of the cobwebby closet and accessorize it with preppy rediscoveries: low boots, cotton knee highs, coordinating jewelry, a good designer handbag, and the always essential headband.
* Bonus points if you adopt a pert snobbish attitude and add a Chuck Bass look-a-like prop.

8. Rachel Zoe
The key requirements of this costume style are huge accessories. Giant sunglasses, exaggerated wide-leg jeans, and a fluffy, faux fur vest ought to produce results. Hold a Starbucks coffee cup in your hand all night and you'll shut it down!
* Bonus points if you add the words "I die" and "bananas" to all your conversations.

9. Kirk Lazarus
When channeling Robert Downey Jr. in "Tropic Thunder", remember, fellows, it's quite important not to risk offending anyone. You would need camouflage fatigues, commando face paint, one realistic wig, and lots of personality for this metamorphosis. Dressing as a dude playing a dude, disguised as another dude is not easy.
* Bonus points if you bust out a hot Australian accent half-way through.

10. Katy Perry
Vintage flair is the key to Katy Perry's personal technique. If you happen to find a retro-inspired romper, then you're all set. Doll up your face with lots of shimmery makeup and sport some beribboned girly accessories. Remember to carry some cherry chapstick in your purse.
* Bonus points if you actually kiss a girl.
