-"Coin Test"
During class, the chemistry professor was demonstrating the properties of various acids. "Now I'm dropping this silver coin into this glass of acid. Will it dissolve?"
"No, sir," a student called out.
"No?" queried the professor. "Perhaps you can explain why the silver coin won't dissolve."
"Because if it would, you wouldn't have dropped it in."

Two hunters got a pilot to fly them into the far north for
elk hunting. They were quite successful in their venture and
bagged six big bucks. The pilot came back, as arranged, to
pick them up.
They started loading their gear into the plane, including
the six elk. But the pilot objected and said, "The plane can
only take four of your elk; you will have to leave two
behind."
They argued with him; the year before they had shot six and
the pilot had allowed them to put all aboard. The plane was
the same model and capacity. Reluctantly, the pilot finally
permitted them to put all six aboard. But when they
attempted to take off and leave the valley, the little plane
could not make it and they crashed into the wilderness.
Climbing out of the wreckage, one hunter said to the other,
"Do you know where we are?"
"I think so," replied the other hunter. "I think this is
about the same place where we crashed last year."
