First One:

Heaven

A man died and went to Heaven. There were thousands of other people there. They were all naked and all looked as they did at the age of 21. He looked around to see if there was anyone he recognised. He saw a couple and he knew immediately that they were Adam and Eve.
How did he know?

Ok. This is a really easy one - only 0.5 points for this

thread #2 has a harder one

The Man in the Elevator

A man lives on the tenth floor of a building. Every day he takes the elevator to go down to the ground floor to go to work or to go shopping. When he returns he takes the elevator to the seventh floor and walks up the stairs to reach his apartment on the tenth floor.
He hates walking so why does he do it?

The elevator only goes to the 7th floor.

Reread the description

The elevator only goes 'up' to the seventh floor but all the way down down from the tenth floor.

"he takes the elevator" .... no statement about what the elevator can actually do

To clarify: The elevator is capable of going all the way to the top and the bottom of the building

Try Again

He's a short man so can't reach any further than number 7 on the elevator controls.

Friday

A man rode into town on Friday. He stayed for three nights and then left on Friday.
How come?

Manhole Covers

Why is it better to have round manhole covers than square ones?
