Just for fun….

Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older, it’s important that we keep mentally alert. The saying; “If you don’t use it, you will lose it,” also applies to the brain, so…..Following is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of your mind exercise. Take the following test and determine if you are losing it or are still “with it.

“ OK, relax, clear your mind and… begin.

4. Twenty years ago, a plane was flying at 20,000 feet over Germany. If
you recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West
Germany and East Germany.  Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines failed. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also
failing, decides on a crash landing procedure….. Unfortunately the third engine fails before he has time to attempt an emergency landing,
and the plane crashes smack in the middle of “no man’s land” between East Germany and West Germany.

Where would you bury the survivors?
