Just for Laughs

The Breakfast Club



Just for Laughs

If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry-cleaners depressed?

A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store, but couldn't find one big enough for her family. She asked a stockboy, "Do these turkeys get any bigger?" The stock boy replied, "No ma'am, they're dead."

The cop got out of his car and the kid who was stopped for speeding rolled down his window. "I've been waiting for you all day," the cop said.

The kid replied, "Yeah, well I got here as fast as I could." When the cop finally stopped laughing, he sent the kid on his way without a ticket.

A truck driver was driving along on the freeway. A sign comes up that reads "Low Bridge Ahead." Before he knows it the bridge is right ahead of him and he gets stuck under the bridge. Cars are backed up for miles.

Finally, a police car comes up. The cop gets out of his car and walks around to the truck driver, puts his hands on his hips and says, "Got stuck, huh?"

The truck driver says, "No, I was delivering this bridge and ran out of gas.



The Breakfast Club

Five students (a jock, a prom queen, a geek, a misfit and a rebel) are sentenced to a full-day Saturday detention. They are sitting at a table in the school’s library and are all facing in the same direction. The five students each have different writing utensils, drinks, shoes, and subjects to study.

The facts essential to solving this problem are as follows:

1. The geek is using a red pen.
2. The jock is working on his English assignment.
3. The person using the black pen is drinking coffee.
4. The rebel is drinking tea.
5. The person writing with the black pen is immediately to the right (your right if you are facing them) of the person using the green pen.
6. The person wearing the Converse sneakers is studying Geography.
7. The person using the yellow pen is wearing Ugg boots.
8. The person sitting in the middle is drinking fruit juice.
9. The prom queen is sitting at the far left of the table.
10. The person wearing Vans sneakers is sitting next to the person who is studying History.
11. The person wearing Ugg boots is sitting next to the person studying Science.
12. The person wearing Nike running shoes is drinking pop.
13. The misfit is wearing Birkenstock sandals.
14. The prom queen is sitting next to the person writing with a blue pen.

There are two questions:
Which student is drinking water?
Which student is studying math?
