Send in your best ones -- and don't blame us if these jokes are both poor and stupid.

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two men were talking and one said, "Last night we went out to dinner at a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly."The other man said, "What is the name of the restaurant?"
The first man thought and thought and finally said, "What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know, the red one that has thorns..."
"Do you mean a Rose?"
"Yes, that's the one," replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and
yelled, "Rose! What's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?"

MAKE THIS SIMPLE TEST QUESTIONS:1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in three years. Which room is safest for him?
2. A woman shoots her husband, then she holds him under water for over five minutes. Finally, she hangs him. Five minutes later they go out and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?
3. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away?
4. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?
5. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!
ANSWERS:
1. The third. Lions that haven't eaten in three years are dead.
2. The woman was a photographer. She shot a picture of her husband, developed it and hung it up to dry.
3. Charcoal.
4. Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.
5. The letter "e" -- which is the most common letter in the English language -- does not appear once in the long paragraph.
