  Excellent dvw! The riddle reminds me of the "liar's paradox."

  John Doe

  Crazy Rob said: "You will boil me in water."

  The fairies were faced with a dilemma.

  If they boil him in water, that would make his statement true, which means he should have been fried in oil.

  They can only fry him in oil if he makes a true statement, but if they do, it would make his final statement false.

  The fairies had no way our of their situation so they were forced to set Crazy Rob free.

  This riddle will demonstrate just how old I really am.

  Only people over 50 will be able to answer it.

  A martini?

  is it martini?

  here is a little ditty for you

  I had eighteen bottles of whiskey in the cellar and

  my wife insisted I empty the contents of each bottle

  down the sink, or else... After careful consideration,

  I reluctantly agreed and finally proceeded with the

  unpleasant task. I withdrew the cork from the first

  bottle and poured the contents down the sink with the

  exception of one glass, which I drank.

  Then, I withdrew the cork from the second bottle and

  did likewise with it, with the exception of one glass,

  which I drank.

  I then withdrew the cork from the third bottle and

  poured the whiskey down the sink which I drank.

  I pulled the cork from the fourth bottle down the sink

  and poured the bottle down the glass, which I drank.

  I pulled the bottle from the cork of the next and drank

  one sink out of it, and threw the rest down the glass.

  I pulled the sink out of the next glass and poured the

  cork down the bottle. Then, I corked the sink with the

  glass, bottled the drink and drank the pour.

  When I had everything emptied, I steadied the house with

  one hand, counted the glasses, corks, bottles, and sinks

  with the other, which were twenty-nine, and as the

  houses came by I counted them again, and finally I had

  all the houses in one bottle, which I drank. I'm not

  under the affluence of incohol as some tinkle peep I am.

  I'm not half as thunk as you might drink. I fool so

  feelish I don't know who is me, and the drunker I stand

  here, the longer I get.
