This should be an easy one for everyone:

The person that made it sold it.
The person that bought it never used it.
The person that used it, never saw it.

What is it ?

Is an old hundred dollar bill better than a new one?

Any hundred dollar bill is fine with me. Just bring them on in large groups. Preferably by the pound.:D

How about this one:

Two men are in a desert. They both have packs on. One of the guys is dead. The guy who is alive has his pack open, the guy who is dead has his pack closed. What is in the pack?

The answer I was looking for was something like "Yes, it's $99 more" heh

Here's a tough one!

A guy who drives a 2-seater car (let's call him Joe) stops near a bus stop. Waiting there on a bench are three people: a friend of Joe who recently saved his life, Joe's girlfriend, and a sick & dying person in desperate need of a hspital. Joe's car can only hold 2 people. What should he do? Who should he take?

No one, the three people are already on the bus.

Give/lend the car to his friend to take the sick/dying person to a hospital. Joe and gf took the bus.

Very good Tn3! Joe gives the car to his friend to take the dying person to a hospital since he trusts him, while Joe sits and chats with his girlfriend:D .

Here's one...
Your in a room with a wood burning stove, a gasoline lantern, and a candle. You only have one match, which do you light first?

The candle... you've got no wood nor gasoline... :)

I like these things, one of my friends has a whole book of these "lateral thinking questions". Next time I'm over there I'll write some of them down :)

The beginning of eternity
The end of time and space
The beginning of every end,
And the end of every place.
