Here's one:

I have two identically sized, circular coins. I put them side by side such that they are touching at one point. Now, holding the first coin stationary, I rotate the second coin around the first until it comes back to its starting position. How many revolutions does the second coin make?

Bout time this thing comes back to life again:

    An easy starter:

-You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?
   
- Why is it better to have round manhole covers than square ones?

    Now start thinking sideways:

- Adults are holding children, waiting their turn. The children are handed (one at a time, usually) to a man, who holds them while a woman shoots them. If the child is crying, the man tries to stop the crying before the child is shot. Why?
   

- You've been sentenced to death in an obscure foreign country which has a strange law. Before the sentence is carried out, two papers -- one with "LIFE" written on it and one with "DEATH" written on it -- are folded up and placed in a hat. You are permitted to pick out one of the papers (without looking), and if you choose the one with "LIFE" written on it, you are set free. Otherwise, the death sentence is carried out. On this occasion, a mean-spirited acquaintenance of yours, bent on your demise, has substituted the paper with "LIFE" written on it with another one with "DEATH" written on it. This person gleefully informs you of what he has done and that you are doomed to die. You are not permitted to speak to anyone about this misdeed, nor will you have a chance to switch the papers or the hat yourself in time. How will you avoid certain death?

- A woman came home with a bag of groceries, got the mail, and walked into the house. On the way to the kitchen, she went through the living room and looked at her husband, who had blown his brains out. She continued to the kitchen, put away the groceries, and made dinner.

- A man is alone on an island with no food and no water, yet he does not fear for his life.
   
- What jumps when it walks and sits when it stands?
   
Have fun
