I know that many of our members are above a certain age,
So, with that said...........


It's that time of year to take our annual senior
citizen test.'
Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of
the muscles. As we grow
older, it's important to keep mentally alert. If you
don't use it, you lose it! Below is a very private way to gauge your loss
or non-loss of intelligence.

There are only 5 questions, so don't get all excited
and confused yet.

Take the test presented here to determine if you're
losing it or not. The
spaces between the question and answers below are
there are so you don't see
the correct answers until you've made your answer.

OK, relax, clear your mind and begin.













1. What do you put in a toaster?















Answer: 'bread.' If you said 'toast,' maybe you
should give up now and do
something else. Try not to hurt yourself. If you
said, bread, go to Question 2.






2. Say 'silk' five times. Now spell 'silk.' What do
cows drink?













Answer: Cows drink water. If you said 'milk,' maybe
you shouldn't even attempt to answer the next question. Your brain is
apparently over-stressed and may even overheat.
Content yourself with reading a more appropriate
literature such as Auto
World. However, if you said 'water', proceed to question 3.






3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue
house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and
a black house is made from black bricks, what is a green house made from?

















Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said
'green bricks,' why are you still reading these???
If you said 'glass,' go on to Question 4.





4. It's twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at
20,000 feet over Germany
(If you will recall , Germany at the time was
politically divided into West
Germany and East Germany .) Anyway, during the
flight, TWO engines fail. The
pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is
also failing, decides on
a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine
fails before he can do
so and the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle
of 'no man's land'
between East Germany and West Germany . Where would
you bury the survivors?
East Germany, West Germany, or no man's land'?

















Answer: You don't bury survivors.






If you said ANYTHING else, you're in real bad shape
and for your own sake you must stop. If you said, 'You don't bury
survivors', proceed to the next question.






5. Without using a calculator - You are driving a
bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales . In London, 17 people get on the bus;
InReading , six people get off the bus and nine people get on. In Swindon ,
two people get off and four get on. In Cardiff , 11 people get off and 16
people get on. In Swansea, three people get off and five people get on In
Carmathen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford
Haven. What was the name of the bus driver?


















Answer: Oh, for crying out loud!






Don't you remember your own name? Or have you
forgotten it was YOU driving the BUS!!
