Playing with words and questions are one of the perfect ways of spending time. We all want people (especially teachers) to overthink and fail to answer. If asked teachers why the arc is frozen, they might think a lot or do some scientific research. Maybe, they might come with answers with explanations the very next day when the answer is just because it lies between “Antarctica”.

Nevertheless, asking silly questions is a source of laughter. Here are some of the questions that the internet gave us.

 

1. Why is 6 afraid of 7?
Because 7 8 9. (7 ate nine)

2. Why did a banker fight with her boss?
Because she lost interest.

3. Why is B always cool?
Because he lives between AC.

4. How do trees use Facebook?
They log in.

5. How many seconds are there in a year?
(Baisakh 2nd, Jestha 2nd)

6.  Which month has 28 days?
All 12.

7. What’s that thing that triangle always says whenever he meets a circle?
“You’re pointless, dude.”

8. Why did a burglar run after seeing one of the hospital doors?
Because it said “ICU”.

9. Where do Flat Earthers (people who believe the Earth is flat) punish criminals?
At the edge.

10. Why are stamps and envelopes friends?
Because stamps stick with envelopes and they travel together.
