Logic Problems
1) Johnny
has eighteen apples. He eats them all in one day. He has a terrible stomach-ache
and feels poorly. Why does he do it? What is he trying to prove? He's always
doing things like that - extravagant gestures that don't impress anyone. Do
you think I should leave him?
2) A train leaves Edinburgh
at 5.25pm. It travels towards London at 55mph. Is this what I pay my taxes
for? Honestly, the rail infrastructure in this country is just a joke. And
was there any announcement about the delay? No, of course not. My father always
calls Britain a Third World country and I'm beginning to agree with him. It
was a terrible journey, but what can you do? They have a bloody monopoly.
3) Corbin Bernsen seems
like a nice fellow. Do you think he'll be my friend?
