I have some good riddles. Post and tell more!
A father and his son are driving to the ballgame when their car stalls on train tracks. In the distance, a train whistle blows a warning. (perfect timing, ain't it?) Frantically, the father tries to start the engine, but to no avail. The train hits the car, kills the father and injures the son, who is soon in an ambulance on the way to the hospital and the operating room. As the boy is being prepared for surgery, the docter walks in, expecting a routine case. However, on seeing the boy, the surgeon pales and mutters, "I can't operate on this boy. He's my son."
As you have probably suspected, the answer in this little puzzle is painfully obvious. It's right there in front of you. If you haven't got it, your brain is just hopp-skipping over it. Most of whatever goes into your brain, it simply throws away.(There are millions of examples. One would be the sensation your shoes make on your feet. Your brain generally ignores it.) You might also mention to your brain that surgeons aren't always men.
