Acting on an anonymous phone call, the police raid a house to arrest a
suspected murderer. They don't know what he looks like but they know his name
is John and that he is inside the house. The police bust in on a carpenter, a
lorry driver, a mechanic and a fireman all playing poker. Without hesitation or
communication of any kind, they immediately arrest the fireman. How do they
know they've got their man?

A man lives in the penthouse of an apartment building. Every morning he takes
the elevator down to the lobby and leaves the building. Upon his return,
however, he can only travel halfway up in the lift and has to walk the rest of
the way - unless it's raining. What is the explanation for this?

How could a baby fall out of a twenty-story building onto the ground and live?
5. A man and his son are in a car crash. The father is
killed and the child is taken to hospital gravely injured. When he gets there,
the surgeon says, 'I can't operate on this boy - for he is my son!!!' How can
this possibly be?
Answer:
2. The fireman is the only man in the room. The rest of the poker players are women.

4. The baby fell out of a ground floor window.
5. The surgeon cannot operate on her own son; she is his mother.
