A horse is tied to a 15 ft. rope and there is a bail of hay 25 ft. away from him. Yet the horse is able to eat from the bail of hay. How is this possible ?
The rope is tied off between the horse and the hay.
That's not the answer I was given, but that is what I first thought also and it works
This would be impossible because the rope would be too short

One morning, a light bulb in a ceiling fixture at Mr.Wu's Chinese restaurant burned out.
Mr. Wu climbed the stepladder to change the bulb. As he was standing on the ladder, his watch fell out of his pocket. It went right into a large bowl of tea ! But when Mr Wu climbed down and took his watch out of the tea, it wasn't the least bit wet. Why not ?

A boy named Robert collected old coins. He knew that some old coins were worth a lot of money. But he didn't know if any of his coins were valuable.
One day, his friend Susan told him she had heard that 1950 dimes (ten-cent pieces) were worth almost two hundred dollars. Robert looked at his coins. He had two 1950 dimes !
He rushed to the bank to turn in the two coins and collect almost four hundred dollars. However, at the bank he was told that while 1950 dimes were worth almost two hundred dollars, his two dimes were worth only twenty cents. Why ?

Quantity 1,950 dimes is $195.00.
Here's another old one, might be new to some. Puncuate the following so that it makes sense:
That that is is that that is not is not that that is not is not that that is is it

During a crazy weekend of paintball, four friends were having great fun. The paint came in blue, green, yellow and red. Coincidentally, the four friends had T-shirts in those same colours. Brenda used blue paint balls. The person in the green T-shirt used yellow paint balls. James was not wearing a red T-shirt. Diane used green paint balls and wore a blue T-shirt. Simon was the only person who used paint which was the same colour as his T-shirt. Can you tell which colour paint they each used and the colour of their respective T-shirts?

Easy one:
A man bought a parrot at a pet shop. The owner of the pet shop guaranteed that the parrot could repeat any word it heard. The man took the parrot home, but it never spoke a single word.
Nevertheless, what the pet shop owner had said was absolutely true - the parrot could repeat any word it heard.
So, why didn't it talk ?
