Your Yearly Dementia Test
It's that time of year to take our annual senior citizen
test.
Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the
muscles. As we grow older, it's important to keep
mentally alert. If you don't use it, you lose it! Below
is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of
intelligence.
Take the test presented here to determine if you're
losing it or not The spaces below are so you don't see
the answers until you've made your answer.
OK, relax, clear your mind and begin..
1. What do you put in a toaster?
Answer: "bread." If you said "toast," give up now and do
something else.
Try not to hurt yourself. If you said, bread, go to
Question 2.
2. Say " silk" five times. Now spell "silk." What do cows
drink?
Answer: Cows drink water. If you said "milk," don't
attempt the next question. Your brain is over-stressed
and may even overheat. Content yourself with reading a
more appropriate literature such as Auto World. However,
if you said "water", proceed to
question 3.
3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue
house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made
from pink bricks and a black house is made from black
bricks, what is a green house made from?
Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said
"green bricks," why are you still reading these???
If you said "glass," go on to Question 4.
4. It's twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000
feet over Germany (If you will recall, Germany at the
time was politically divided into West Germany and East G
ermany.) Anyway, during the flight, two engines fail. The
pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also
failing, decides on a crash landing procedure.
Unfortunately the engine fails before he can do so and
the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of "no
man's land" between East Germany and West Germany . Where
would you bury the survivors? East Germany , West Germany
, or no man's land"?
Answer: You don't bury survivors.
If you said ANYTHING else, you're a dunce and you must
stop. If you said, "You don't bury survivors", proceed to
the next question.
