#1: A woman was horrified to find a fly in her tea. The waiter took her cup and went into the kitchen and returned with a fresh cup of tea. She shouted, "You brought me the same tea!" How did she know? The fly?

#2:A petshop owner had a parrot with a sign on its cage that said "Parrot repeats everything it hears." A young man bought the parrot and for two weeks he spoke to it and it didn't say a word. He returned the parrot but the shopkeeper said he never lied about the parrot. How can this be? It was deaf

#3:Which word in the English language becomes shorter when it is lengthened? Short goes to Shorter or Shortest?

#4:You give someone a dollar. You are this person's brother, but the person is not your brother. How can that be? It's a girl

#5:A psychologist goes to a village in Africa and decides to compare foot size to intelligence. He notes that in general, as foot size increases, so does intelligence. How can this be? Your knowledge grows as you do

#6:A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him? The lions because they'd be dead after 3 years

#7:He has married many women, but has never been married. Who is he? He is the Priest who marries the Man and the Women

#8:How many times can you subtract the number 5 from 25? Once, because after one subtraction of 5 it's not 20

#30: What's brown and sounds like a bell?

#31: What is yours but your friend uses more than you do?

#32: Three guests check into a hotel room. The clerk says the bill is $30, so each guest pays $10. Later the clerk realizes the bill should only be $25. To rectify this, he gives the bellhop $5 to return to the guests. On the way to the room, the bellhop realizes that he cannot divide the money equally. As the guests didn't know the total of the revised bill, the bellhop decides to just give each guest $1 and keep $2 for himself.
Now that each of the guests has been given $1 back, each has paid $9, bringing the total paid to $27. The bellhop has $2. If the guests originally handed over $30, what happened to the remaining $1?

#33: What question can you never answer "yes" to?

#34: No sooner spoken than broken. What is it?

#35: What goes round the house and in the house but never touches the house?

#36: What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in a thousand years?

#37: What is round as a dishpan, deep as a tub, and still the oceans couldn't fill it up?

#38: There were five men going to church and it started to rain. The four that ran got wet and the one that stood still stayed dry. How?

#39: There were five men going to church and it started to rain. The four that ran got wet and the one that stood still stayed dry.

#40: I bind it and it walks. I loose it and it stops.

#41: What fastens two people yet touches only one?

#7:He has married many women, but has never been married. Who is he? I honestly don't know.

#8:How many times can you subtract the number 5 from 25? Once, then it becomes 20.

#7 is a pastor

30) Dung. This should of been No. 42.

31) Your name.

32) The dollar went nowhere! The question tricks the person into thinking that you add, but you actually subtract.
"Now that each of the guests has been given $1 back, each has paid $9, bringing the total paid to $27. The bellhop has $2. If the guests originally handed over $30, what happened to the remaining $1?"
We simplify it to this:
$27 - $2 = $25
But most people see this:
$27 + $2 = $29
We did this some time ago.

33) Are you dead?

34) Silence.

35) Either the perimeter, or the sun.

36) The letter "M"

37) A sieve.

38) A coffin and the body, and the bearers carrying it.

39) Same as 38.

40) A shoe.

41) A engagement/wedding ring.

My riddle:
If an aardvark says "I am lying in this sentence?" Is he lying?

How do I know all of these?
I took complicated math, and I had a book on riddles. I read it all the time as a child.
