Your go Farlsborough .

I'm not massively into riddles so I've had to cast around on t'internet a bit, but this one will do. Still, the last one tops them all I reckon, great stuff. That or Ecko's

Anyway, riddle me this, as they say:

John gazes through the grimey window on the 22nd storey of an office block, and decides he just can't take any more. He opens the window and jumps through it - it's a sheer drop outside the office block to the ground. There is nothing to cushion his fall, and yet when he lands he is hardly even bruised. He gets up and walks away, realising how lucky he is, and decides to do something wild and different with the rest of his life.

How is this possible?

So in the spirit of doing something wild and different with his life... he quits his job as a window cleaner?

He looks through the grimey window because he's a window cleaner cleaning a 22nd storey window. Gets depressed and jumps through the window. Normally this would be out onto the street but for him it's the other way and onto the floor in the office.

He realises he's lucky and quits his job as a window cleaner.

(If I'm wrong, naturally I'm going to feel like a tit)

No feeling like a tit for you sir - correct!

The best I can do at short notice...

A black dog stands on a black road in the middle of a town painted all black.
None of the streetlights are working following a storm.
A black car with both headlights broken comes down the road. The dog doesn't move.
The driver swerves just in time to avoid the dog - how did he know the dog was there?

It was daytime.

Ding ding.
We have a weiner.

Your turn

What the hell, here it is:

A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?

The lions are dead after not eating for 3 years.

CASHBACK

Spot on!!

Yes, but please don't call me Shirley....

Seeing how no-one else is posting a riddle, here's another one for ya .......


Three gods,on a distant planet - one always tells the truth; one always lies and the other one lies and tells the truth at random.

Your task is to identify which god is which.

You are allowed to ask 3 questions which must be answerable with either a yes or a no - if you ask a question that causes one of them to answer with anything but a yes or a no (such as a maybe) - you will be incinerated on the spot.

The first question is asked to all 3 gods and they all answer in turn, with a yes or a no.

The 2nd question is asked to one (and only one) of the gods and he answers with a yes or a no.

The 3rd question must be directed to the same god that you asked the 2nd question to.

To make things awkward, the gods speak a language that you have never heard before and as such, you do not know what the words "yes" and "no" translate to in their language. After asking the first question, the gods may have all answered with the same answer (yes OR no), in which case you will only know one of their yes and no words; or they may have given different answers (yes AND no), so after the first question you may be lucky enough to know what both the words are (even though you won't know which word means yes and which word means no).
However, as you are a newcomer on this planet, use of their language is punishable by instant death, so you are not allowed to speak these words, or communicate them in any written form or whatever.

What questions do you ask in order to determine which god is which and to also enable you (without asking) what words mean yes and no??

No takers ???
