A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me USD 50, but if I cannot, I will pay you USD 50." The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less. In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

Right i'm going to watch million pound drop so i will leave you with this

A man goes to work every day at a tall office building.

He takes the elevator to the 23rd floor every day, then takes the stairs up to the top floor, where his office is, floor 30.

The only time he takes the elevator up to the top floor is when it's raining outside.

why is this?

It's the same as the one GypseyGoth posted I think, he's a midget. When it's raining he can use his umbrella to reach the buttons.

There once was an evil wizard. He took 3 woman from their homes and turned them into rose bushes that looked exactly alike. He put them in his garden. One of the woman had a husband and children and begged the wizard to let her see them. He agreed. At night, he brought the woman to her house. In the morning he came and took her home. One day the husband decided to go rescue her. So he snuck into the wizard's garden. He looked and looked at the 3 identical rose bushes trying to figure out which could be his wife. Suddenly, he knew the answer and he took his wife home. How did he know which rose bush was his wife?

The wizard brought the rosebush to her home at night and returned her to the garden in the morning. Therefore, she was the only plant without dew

He said "You'll sentence me to six years in prison". If this was true then the judge would have to make it false by giving him 4 years. If it was false then he would have to make it true by giving him 6 years. Instead of contradicting his word, the judge just set him free
