Mercedes for Sale @ $1
Someone put up this advertisement. No one believed it could be true, so no one responded, except for an old man who went to see the car.
The lady actually sold him the Merc, which had done just 12,000km, for $1, handed him the papers and the keys. Deal done.
As the old man was leaving, he said, "I’ll die of suspense if you don't tell me why this car was sold so cheaply."
The lady replied, "I am legally required to fulfill the will of my dear departed, now deceased husband, where it's written that the money received from the sale of his Mercedes shall go to his Secretary ..."

This one is so true.
My mother sent me 2 links over night to 2 separate Marie Wallin kits (wool and pattern) on UK eBay that she knows i like. One is them is a limited edition. I have so many of these kits that I think i could probably knit solidly for the next couple of years and only just finish the ones I have. But I know she likes feeling useful and likes buying them for me (I'm the only one she's not lent or given money to).

Four university students decided to go out the night before their final exam. They drank too much, got home late, don't hear their alarms going off and completely miss the exam.
The students go to their professor, explaining this elaborate story that they were on their way to the final but the car they were travelling in got a flat tire. They beg their professor to be allowed to retest the exam. After hearing their pleas and giving them careful consideration, the professor agrees.
The day of the make up exam arrives. All four of the students arrive on time. They are prepared for the exam.
The professor looks a the students, looks at his
watch, and then says, "You may begin the test."
The four students open their final exam booklet, but to their surprise, there is only one question:
"Which tire was flat?"
