A "Wise King" devised a contest to see who would receive the Princess hand in marriage.
The Princess was put in a 50x50 foot carpeted room. Each of her four suitors were put in one corner of the room with a small box to stand on. The first one to touch the Princess hand would be the winner and become the new King.
The rules of the test were that the contestants could not walk over the carpet, cross the plane of the carpet, or hang from anything; nor could they use anything but their body and wits (i.e. no magic or telepathy, nor any items such as ladders, block and tackles, etc.).
One suitor figured out a way and married the Princess and became the new King.
How did he figure it out?
Answer:
The successful suitor simply asked the Princess to walk over to where he stood, and to touch his hand!

A father watched his young daughter playing in the garden.
He smiled as he reflected on how sweet and pure his little girl was.
Tears formed in his eyes as he thought about her seeing the wonders of nature through such innocent eyes.
Suddenly she just stopped and stared at the ground. He went over to her to see what work of God had captured her attention. He noticed she was looking at two spiders mating. "Daddy, what are those two spiders doing?" she asked.
They're mating," her father replied.
What do you call the spider on top?" she asked.
That's a Daddy Longlegs," her father answered.
So, the other one is a Mommy Longlegs?" the little girl asked.
As his heart soared with the joy of such a cute and innocent question he replied "No dear. Both of them are Daddy Longlegs."
The little girl, looking a little puzzled, thought for a moment,then took her foot and stomped them flat, saying "Well, we're not having any of that brokeback mountain **** in our garden.

A drunk is proudly showing off his new flat to a couple of friends late one night, and leads the way to his bedroom, where there's a huge brass gong.
"What's that for?" asks one of the guests.
"That's the speaking clock," replies the drunk. "Listen..."
With that, he gives it a big whack with a hammer.
"For pity's sake!" screams a voice from next door, "it's ten past three in the morning!" :)
