"... but I like your thinking". LMAO If you've seen the Little Johnny joke, you'll know what I'm talking about here. Good Teaser!
Heard this like a thousand times but still a good one
I would have to say "one, but he is dead"
I think it'd depend on how long the fence is. Take a fence half a mile long, shoot a bird at one end with a BB Gun, and the birds on the other end won't ever notice...
good one
The answer must be one, even though it's dead!
impossible to answer. What if the birds were deaf and you didn't scare them. So there are many possibilities.
Man, steve and brules, you both are thinking WAY too much!
Loved it! Very funny!
Loved it! Very funny!
For some reason, unbeknownest to me, I got it right
cute lil teaser, thanks
cute lil teaser, thanks
It could be all of them... if it was a photo-shoot
What if the birds were ceramic and sitting on a fence. Or, what if they were penguins or ostriches?THINK ABOUT THAT.(do not get mad 'cause i'm just playin')
nice u got me but also what if it waz missed nvm to far to far but good
i got none but a different way.
heh....you people nitpick all the time....it was a fun teaser, supa easy...but fun
cute!
what if the other birds were really brave and wasnt scared by the noise!! they would be some terrifying birds
B-b-b-b-but wh-wh-what about th-th-the d-d-d-dead b-b-bird?
they would have flown away, but hope they don't start attacking you!
You cannot prove for certain that the other birds would fly away. If, for example you shot the bird from some distance away with a small calibur pellet, it is possible many of the other birds would not have noticed. Your "trick" answer must stand against all logical arguements.
115, because they have flown away, but are still "there" in the world! Or 14 alive...
I meant 15...
What if the other birds just didn't give a crap?
Or if they wanted the other one to die because he was annoying them...
Or, what if you "shot" the one with a camera?
Too many possibilities...
