Dear Cosmo and Wanda,

                Where do you live? – Computer

 

            Dear Computer,

               We live in Timmy Turner’s fishbowl in a magical underwater castle.

                From your friends Cosmo and Wanda

 

 

            Dear Cosmo and Wanda,

                Why does my math get harder and harder? – Timmy

         

            Dear Timmy,          

                Your math gets harder every year because you keep learning new things, and as you get older things will be harder. Every time you learn a different kind of math it will be a little more difficult then the last one. Just keep practicing them until you understand them.

            Dear Cosmo and Wanda,

                Why can’t I win the lottery and collect 1,000,000,000 dollars? – Jack101

 

            Dear Jack101,

                First of all you have to be 18 to play in the lottery, and second of all, lotteries never actually go up to 1,000,000,000. When you turn 18 though go ahead and try for a few 1,000,000 dollars.

                From your friends Cosmo and Wanda

Riddles

I soar without wings,

I see without eyes,

I’ve traveled the universe to and fro,

I’ve conquered the world,

Yet I’ve never been anywhere but home.

What am I?

 

 

 

What is black when it’s new,

Red when you use it,

And gray when you throw it away?

 

 

 

 

I can sizzle like bacon,

 I am made with an egg,

I have plenty of backbone, but lack a good leg,

I peel layers like onions, but still remain whole,

 I can be long like a flagpole, yet fit in a hole.

What am I?

 

 

 

 

I am the only thing that always tells the truth.

I show off everything that I see.

I come in all shapes and sizes.

So tell me what I must be!

 

 

 

 

Word Puzzles

 

 

“A snowball sentence,” said Mr. Jones to his daughter, “is one in which each word is one letter longer than the preceding word. Do you think you can construct such a sentence?”

The daughter thought for several minutes before she said, “I am not that smart, father.”

 

Prove that the daughter was smarter than what she said she was.

 

 

 

 

 

Little Tommy fell off his tricycle and bumped his head so hard he was knocked unconscious. When he came to, he spoke perfect French. How come?

 

 

 

 

I bind on she hank it forth too is thy bust.

 

If you change one letter in each word, it will make a sentence that is a well-known proverb.

“No hat, a smile,” describes a famous painting. If you rearrange the letters, they will spell the name of the painting. What painting is it?

 

 

 

 

Jokes

 

How do you catch a unique rabbit?

Unique up on it.

How do you catch a tame rabbit?

 Tame way.

 

 

One day in class, Mrs. Johnson pulled Joe over to his desk after a test, and said, “Joe, I have a feeling that you have been cheating on your tests.”

Joe was astounded and asked her to prove it. “Well,” said Mrs. Johnson, “ I was looking over your test and the question was, ‘Who was the first president of the United States?’ you said ‘George Washington’ and so did Mary.”

“Well everyone knows that he was our first president” said Joe.

“That might be so, but the next question was ‘Who freed the slaves?’ Mary put Abraham Lincoln and so did you.”

“Well I read the history book last night and I remembered that one” interjected Joe.

“Wait, wait,” said Mrs. Johnson, “but the next question was ‘Who was president during the Louisiana Purchase?’ Mary put ‘I don’t know’, and you put ‘me neither’.”

 

 

There once was a monster named Fred,

Who used to eat garlic in bed;

His mom said, “Son,

That’s really not done,

Why don’t you eat people instead?”

 

Grandfather: When I was your age I could name all the presidents in the right order.

Grandson: Well sure, when you were my age there were only six of them!
