Missed the last one. I don't know how to drive a bus. LOL. Enjoyed 😉

I drove a school bus one year in West Texas. The manager of the bus fleet didn't know the route I was to drive.

I started out and was hoping an early passenger would know where the next few lived.

I got stuck about a mile out of town where a farmer had allowed irrigation water overflow on to the road.

After Christmas holiday, we got the alarm to get our kids home due to a severe snow blizzard was due. I was almost finished when I turned the bus over due to blinding snow and road was hard to see. The bus's back tandem slowly caused the bus to drift over into the ditch light as a feather. We three had to climb out the back door. Fortunately, the father of the last two kids was coming to find us. My bus stayed out there for a week! Just Sayin...RJS

Surprised myself, I got all of them. Now when my wife tells me to act my age, I can say no thanks!

My wife once told me to act my age. I asked her if she has seen people my age? Then I told her that is terrible advice.

Yep, it's that time of year again for us to take our annual senior citizen test. Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older, it's important to keep mentally alert. If you don't use it, you will lose it !!


#1. What do you put in a toaster?



Answer: 'bread.' If you said 'toast', just give up now and go do something else. And, try not to hurt yourself. If you said, bread, go to Question #2.


# 2. Say 'silk' ten times. Now spell 'silk.' What do cows drink?



Answer: Cows drink water. If you said 'milk,' don't attempt the next question. Your brain is already over-stressed and may even overheat. Content yourself with reading more appropriate literature such as Women's Weekly or Auto World. However, if you did say 'water', proceed to Question #3.


# 3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a green house made from?




Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said 'green bricks', why are you still reading this? PLEASE, go and lie down! But, if you said 'glass,' go on to Question #4.


# 4. Please do not use a calculator for this for it would be cheating: You are driving a bus from Jurong to Changi. At Bukit Batok, 17 people got on the bus. At Clementi, 6 people get off the bus and 9 people get on. At Outram, 2 people get off and 4 get on. At Marine Parade, 11 people get off and 16 people get on. And at Eunos, 3 people get off and 5 people get on. You then arrive at Changi.
Without going back to review, how old is the bus driver? Answer: Oh, for crying out loud!



Answer: Don't you remember your own age?!?! It was YOU driving the bus!

Got them all Hueey. I guess I'm in better shape than I thought I was.

Yes, my mind may be getting a little fuzzy, but for the things that are important to me, I am still a 30 year old 'whipper snapper' raring to go, and believing that no matter what, I can 'ace' it. Just Sayin...RJS

I disagree with the green house answer. In the question it was on 2 lines, suggesting 2 words, and that would be Green Bricks. In the answer it was 1 word, that would have been the ultimate clue. Just saying
