that time of year to take our annual senior citizen test. Exercise of
the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow
older, it's important to keep mentally alert. If you don't use it, you
lose it! Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of
intelligence. Take the test presented here to determine if you're
losing it or not. The spaces below are so you don't see the answers
until you've made your answer.<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

2. Say 'silk' five times. Now spell 'silk.' What do cows drink?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Answer: Cows drink water. If you said 'milk,' don't attempt the next
question. Your brain is over-stressed and may even overheat. Content
yourself with reading more appropriate literature such as Auto World.
However, if you said 'water', proceed to question 3. <br>

3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from
blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house
is made from black bricks, what is a green house made from? <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said 'green bricks,'
why are you still reading these??? If you said 'glass,' go on to
Question 4. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
4. It's twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over
Germany (If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically
divided into West Germany and East Germany.) Anyway, during the flight,
two engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine
is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately
the engine fails before he can do so and the plane fatally crashes
smack in the middle of 'no man's land' between East Germany and West
Germany. Where would you bury the survivors? East Germany, West
Germany, or 'no man's land'? <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Answer: You don't bury survivors.<br>
If you said ANYTHING else, you're a dunce and you must stop. If you
said, 'You don't bury survivors', proceed to the next question. <br>
