This text is for question 1 to 5
An
ambitious,
young
clerks
responsibilities included bringing the judge a
hot cup of coffee every morning. And, every
morning, the judge became infuriated when the
coffee cup was brought to him just 2/3 full.
With his back to the corner, the young
clerk explained that he had to rush to get the
coffee delivered while it was still hot, which
caused him to spill much of it along the way.
After weeks of yelling and insults, nothing the
judge said to the young clerk produced a full
cup of coffee until he threatened to cut the
clerks pay by 1/3 if he continued to produce
1/3 less than the judge wanted.
The following morning, the judge was
greeted with a cup of coffee that was full to the
brim, and the next morning and the morning
after that. The judge couldnt resist gloating
over his success and smugly complimented the
clerk on his new technique.
Oh, theres not much to it, admitted
the clerk happily, I take some coffee in my
mouth right outside the coffee room, and spit it
back in when I get outside your office.

The Blonde and the Lawyer
A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to
each other on a flight from LA to NY.
The lawyer asks if she would like to play a
fun game.
The blonde, tired, just wants to take a
nap, politely declines and rolls over to the

and a lot of fun. He explains, "I ask you a
question, and if you don't know the answer,
you pay me $5.00, and vise versa." Again,
she declines and tries to get some sleep.

you don't know the answer you pay me
$5.00, and if I don't know the answer, I will

purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill and hands it to
the lawyer. "Okay" says the lawyer, "your
turn."
She asks the lawyer, "What goes up a
hill with three legs and comes down with
four legs?" The lawyer, puzzled, takes out
his laptop computer and searches all his

references, no answer. He taps into the air

phone with his modem and searches the net
and the library of congress, no answer.
Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his
friends and coworkers, to no avail. After an
hour, he wakes the blonde, and hands her
$500.00.
The blonde says, "Thank you", and
