i've got one for you...
there is a chap who lives on the 50th floor of a block of flats, every morning he gets the lift down to the ground floor and goes out to buy a paper. on his way back up, he gets in the lift, presses the button for the 25th floor, gets out and walks the rest of the way.
why?

A bus driver was heading down a street in Colorado. He went right past a stop sign without stopping, he turned left where there was a "no left turn" sign, and he went the wrong way on a one-way street. Then he went on the left side of the road past a cop car. Still - he didn't break any traffic laws. Why not?

heres an oldie but a goodie:
Riddle of the missing money
Three friends check into a hotel for the night. The clerk tells them the bill is £30, payable in advance.
They each pay the clerk £10 and go to their room.
A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the men by £5.
He asks the porter to return £5 to the friends.
The porter sees this as an opportunity to make £2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing £5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only £3, giving a pound back to each of the friends.
He pockets the leftover £2.
Now, that each of the three has got a pound back, they each have paid £9 for the room which is a total of £27 for the night.
We know the porter pocketed £2 and adding that to the £27, you get £29, not £30 which was originally spent.
Where did the other pound go?
