Grab a beer...and no Googling!
1. In his youth a man decides to take a trip to visit the great pyramids of Egypt. He is deeply moved by the trip, and years later he decides to take his son who has never been away from home to see the pyramids. Here's the catch: The man made his trip to the pyramids in 1995, but his son made his trip to see them in 1969. How is this possible?

2. A few weeks ago, my vacuum broke. This is a conventional vacuum cleaner -- the kind that's on wheels, with the hose that plugs in on one end. The vacuum looks like a torpedo.
Before I threw it out, however, I decided I'd take it apart to see if I could fix it. I surprised myself and found the problem. It was a broken wire.
While I'm fixing it, I notice a huge chunk of iron attached to the base of the vacuum. It looks like it weighs about two pounds.
I remembered two years ago when I took a stereo component apart. I noticed that it also had a huge chunk of iron in there -- so that you wouldn't think it was a big empty box with 65 cents' worth of components. I thought, do I want my wife dragging around this vacuum cleaner that's two pounds heavier? Of course not. I'll just throw this thing out. So I pry off the piece of iron and I put the vacuum back together. What will happen?

3. A few months ago, a car repair shop needed a part called a "map sensor" for a customer's Toyota Celica. It's a fairly expensive part, so they wanted to check with the customer before ordering one. They called him five or six times, and there was no answer, before realizing he had probably given them his home number, and he was at work.
Finally, late in the day he calls and asks, "Is my car done?" The shop explained that he needs this expensive part. And he tells the shop to go ahead and order it. The shop calls the dealer. The phone rings and rings and rings, and then they notice it's 5:01 pm. All the dealerships are closed! After five minutes of moaning and groaning, the shop had an inspiration. And the next morning, they had the part. How?
4. A few weeks ago I experienced one of those rare and wonderful mornings where you just kind of wake up naturally, no alarm clocks, no noise, no nothing. Just gentle sunlight caressing my face and whispering, 'Wake up, Charlie. Wake up.'
I rolled over and glanced at the digital clock on my nightstand and it was flashing 7:25. I thought the power must have gone off during the night. Not to worry. It's Saturday and I don't have to work. . Then it hit me like a sumo wrestler falling on my chest. It wasn't Saturday after all, it was Friday! I'm going to be late for work. Again!
So I sprang to my feet and grabbed the wristwatch off my dresser. It said 6:50. That's odd. So I ran to the kitchen where I have one of those old fashioned analog electric clocks, the kind with the hands that plugs into an electric outlet. And it read 6:30. So assuming that all three timepieces are working properly and they were all set to the same time when I went to bed the night before, when did the power go off and for how long?'
5. A car is traveling at 60 mph. Can you name a part, or parts, of the car, that are not moving in relation to the road?
