John and David were brothers. John married Jane. David married Diana. The strange thing was, John and Diana shared the same wedding anniversary. Davids wedding anniversary was one month before this date and Janes was one month after it. None of them had ever divorced or remarried. Whats going on?.

John and David are priests?

EDIT: Crap, I should really learn to read these.

EDIT 2: Hmmm...

Could it be that their religion forbid them to marry on the day they wanted or their religion stoped them some how?

They were rabbis... or judges.. or someone with the power to marry people and also allowed to be married... John performed the ceremony for Jane and David, and David performed the ceremony for John and Diana.

[edit] err, Jane and David can't be married. Jane and David got married to other people... but the idea is the same.

John and david were brothers (religious people) with the power to marry other people. John got married to Diana and he was the priest for Jane's wedding, Jane got married to someone else, and David got married to someone else, David was the priest for John and Diana's wedding.

It's A Knockout!

A policeman was called because a man was found lying unconcious outside a shop. As soon as the man came around, he was arrested. He was not a known criminal, and had not been engaged in any kind of fight or dispute before losing conciousness. Why did the policeman arrest him?

Or while trying to break in he got knocked out.. like he tried to break the window by throwing something at it and the window was reinforced or he missed the window so whatever he threw bounced off and hit him, or maybe he tried to kick the door in and it fell on him, or something along those lines. Then when the police came they found him with the door on him, or a rock beside him, so they knew.

Bones? Years left to live? hmm.... this is probably a trick question that I'm totally off-track on

[edit] wow, answering 1 minute after the question is asked... I have good timing

Trouble with sons.

A woman sat at her kitchen table with her two sons. She spoke to each of her sons and they replied to her, but the sons never spoke to eachother. The boys had not fallen out, and did not dislike eachother. Although they conversed freely with their mother, they never addressed one word to eachother. Why?

Each son speaks a different language (one English one Spanish perhaps). The mother is fluent in both, but the sons only know the one language.

EDIT: or.. same idea but more likely scenario... one is deaf and knows sign language... and the other hears fine but doesn't know sign language. The mother hears fine but knows sign language.

The man in the house.

A man walks into a house. There was no one else in the house. He walked into a room, stopped, and slowly raised his hands above his head. After a moment, he turned around, let out a laugh, and left. Why?

He stepped into the room, the door closed behind him, pushing the knob into his back. He thought he was being held up at gunpoint, so he raised his hands. After nothing happened, he turned around to see that it was the door... laughed at his situation, then left.
