Talking Your Yearly Dementia Test

>>> YOUR YEARLY DEMENTIA TEST
>>>
>>> It's that time of year again, time to take the 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 the hell are you still reading these??? If you said "glass," go
on to Question 4.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> 4. It's twenty years ago, and a jet 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 Germany). Anyway during the
flight, TWO engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining
engines are also failing decides on a crash landing procedure.
Unfortunately, the engines fail before he can do so and the plane fatally crashes
smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East 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.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> 5. Without using a calculator - You are driving a bus from London
to Milford Haven in Wales. In London, 17 people get on the bus; in
Reading, six people get off the bus and nine people get on. In Swindon, two
people get off and four get on. In Cardiff, 11 people get off and
16 people get on. In Swansea, three people get off and five people get
on in Carmathen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive
at Milford Haven. What was the name of the bus driver?

>>> Answer: Oh, for crying out loud! Don't you remember your own name?
It was YOU!!

I'm sorry but this test is flawed. Thinking cows drink milk does not make me demented.
