OG? No? ok.
- There is a man who lives on the top floor of a very tall building. Everyday he gets the elevator down to the ground floor to leave the building to go to work.Upon returning from work though, he can only travel half way up in the lift and has to walk the rest of the way unless it's raining!
Why?
-----------------------------------------------------------
- A man and his son are in a car accident. The father dies on the scene,but the child is rushed to the hospital. When he arrives the surgeon says,"I can't operate on this boy, he is my son! "
How can this be?
-----------------------------------------------------------
- A man is wearing black. Black shoes, socks, trousers, lumper, gloves and balaclava. He is walking down a black street with all the street lamps off.A black car is coming towards him with its light off but somehow manages to stop in time.
How did the driver see the man?
-----------------------------------------------------------
- A man went to a party and drank some of the punch. He then left early. Everyone else at the party who drank the punch subsequently died of poisoning.
Why did the man not die?
------------------------------------------------------------
- A man walks into a bar and asks the barman for a glass of water. The barman pulls out a gun and points it at the man. The man says 'Thank you' and walks out.
Why?

Question #1 - The man is very, very short and can only reach halfway up the elevator buttons. However, if it is raining then he will have his umbrella with him and can press the higher buttons with it.
Question #2 - The surgeon was his mother.
Question #3 - It was day time.
Question #4 - The poison in the punch came from the ice cubes. When the man Drank the punch, the ice was fully frozen. Gradually it melted, poisoning the punch.
Question #5 - The man had hiccups. The barman recognized this from his speech and drew the gun in order to give him a shock. It worked and cured the hiccups-so the man no longer needed the water.

MUDAMUDAMUDA!!!
Number one, the man is somewhat short? and can only reach half the buttons, but on a rainy day he can then touch the top ones using an umbrella? possibly.
Number Two, the surgeon was his mother?
Number Three, It's daytime (was clueless for a while).
Number Four, It wasn't the punch that was poisoned, food possibly? or he poisoned it himself? Not sure on that one.
Number Five, Did the man have hiccups?
Next time, don't post answers until a day, give people a chance to do it themselves, I love riddles.
