It's 45 B.C. or earlier.

If that's so wrong, then they must not be in Rome.

One more shot, it's because it's in Arabic letters rather than Roman Numerals.

Its been over a freakin week. Time to go.

A lady walks into the Va to meet with a Government agent.
She says:" I found this letter when i was cleaning out my attic the other day. Its from the Board of war pensions"
The officer read it:" Yes mrs. Hinkley, Mustard gas was used in the front linesof world war 1 In 1917. If your husband was there,and died, as the records state,Then you are entitled to a settlement. Please send Informaton to the board, to recieve your settlement.
Tom Williams- 1927
The officer knew tom Williams Signature. It was either his or a clever forgary.
She says:" My grandmother never got her money, i guess you owe me an aful lot huh?"
"clever he thoght, but not clever enough"
How did he know she was lying

IIRC, Mustard Gas caused death for those killed (duh!), but for the surviours, impotence.

I don't think that was the answer, he was just clarifying that the grandad was really dead...

I'll say that if this letter was written is 1927 - only ten years after the war and when the grandad supposedly died...then the grandad would have been too old at that time to go to war.

Then what's so riddling about that?

In 1927, World War II had not happened yet. Therefore, there would be no reason that a letter about it would call the war "World War I". More likely, it would be referred to as "the Great War" or "the European War" or just "the war."

Someone else can ask, I don't care to.

EDIT: There might be more than one answer, but there is one that I am looking for specifically that counts as the correct answer.

Alright, a man wishes to marry a farmers daughter, but he don't want none of it. There's no real reason he doesn't want him to marry her aside from the fact that he just don't think any man is good 'nuff for his lil angel. Simply refusing the man would be tacky, so he gives him a challenge instead. He points the man to a neglected field on his land that is unlevel. He tells the man to come back tomorrow at first sunlight and if he can level that entire field of dirt w/o any tools whatsoever before the sun sets, he can marry his daughter. The farmer knew the field was too large for one man to level in one day and so she would not be able to marry him.

The man agrees however, then leaves for town square. Once there, he announces that he has found a hidden door to heaven and tells everyone to meet him at the farmers field at dawn tomorrow to witness this miracle.

The next morning, he arrives at the farmers field wielding a rediculously long bamboo pole with a host of people behind him. He calmly walks to a corner of the field, plants the pole into the earth and begins to climb. Once he reaches the top, he holds out his hand and moves it about his head as if searching for something. After awhile he stops and climbs back down and tells the people that it has moved since yesterday. Doors to heaven are tricky like that, but he assures them that it couldn't have moved out any farther than the field, so he'd find it quickly enough. He picks up his pole and goes to another location to search for the door...then another...and another...

Finally it was getting late and still the man has not found the door to heaven. He apologizes to the disappointed villagers for wasting their time ans they leave. The man then went to the farmer, who had watched the man make a fool of himself for the whole day.

"How can you expect to care for my daughter," The farmer said, "If you waste an entire day making a fool of yourself instead of accomplishing the one task I set out for you?"

"What do you mean?" The man replied, "I have leveled your field as you have asked. Do you not see?"

The farmer looked at the field and saw that it was indeed leveled as he had instructed. Utterly baffled, he asked the man how he possibly could have accomplished his task.



What was the man's answer? (i.e. How'd the f*cker pull it off?)
