Old Trick Questions

back in highschool we used to play a game of trick questions. i have no idea where the story originated from, but somehow, most of the kids at that time knew of it.

question 1: "how do you put an elephant inside a refrigerator (in three steps)?"
answer: "1.) open the door of the fridge, 2.) put the elephant inside, 3.) and close it."

after giving the answer, we divert to another topic or tell jokes.

question 2: "the airplane's engines are failing and we need to lighten the load, what do you throw away to save the plane?"
answer: "the refrigerator" (why? the goddamned elephant is in there!")

again, tell a joke or come up with a new topic.

question 3: "tarzan needed to rescue jane, and he calls forth all the animals in the jungle. who was not present among all the animals?"
answer: "the elephant" (he is still inside the fridge)

tell another joke.

then hit them with another trick question.

question 4: "you are lost in a swamp and you have to cross it.
you saw a sign saying, "beware of crocodiles, do not cross"
what do you do?"
answer: "just swim across, there are no crocs. (tarzan called all the animals earlier)

now for the finishing move.

 
question5 : "two lovers were sitting on a bench, it was night time and nobody else can see them. as things became hot and heavy, everything went black and they were found dead the next day. "what was the cause of their death?"
answer: "the refrigerator killed them"
