The Magnificent Jump
Joey and Carl were sitting down since they had nothing to do. Carl told Joey that he could make a magnificent jump. Carl then set up three chairs. When Joey saw that Carl had set the chairs up, Joey told Carl that he couldn't do it. Carl then said, "Let me take off my shoes before I jump over them". Before Carl jumped, Joey made a bet that Carl couldn't make the magnificent jump. Carl did not make it over the chairs, but still won the bet. Why?
Answer
Carl said, "Let me take off my shoes before I jump over THEM". Therefore, the magnificent jump was jumping over his shoes.Hide Answer Show Answer

I must of missed that one. It was very tricky, and I love trickster riddles. They fool me...most of the time. You are...hi!
Well done Rob2003, I used to play tricks like that on my brothers and friends. Keep them coming

ARGH!!!! english flashbacks! call therapy. call 911. ok im really fine. that one was really good! i should have got it cuz my 8th grade teacher drilled that kidna thing into our heads. but i didnt, i never do, and i liked it alot! write more
I thought magnificent was his dog's name.
Great one Rob! It was quite easy, as carl said (quote)"LET ME TAKE OFF MY SHOES"
The problem with this kind of question is that it can have thousands of different possible answers. Would have been better if "a magnificent" was the name of a grass-hopper that he made jump!
It is like 'Constantinople is a very long word - can you spell it?' The answer of course is I T
easy, but still enjoyable!
Nice!!!

nO one explained it to jinx: he said "Let me take off my SHOES before I jump over THEM." Then he jumped over his shoes! If I hadn't seen a few similar ones before I might have missed this, but I GOT IT! woowooo!
Ok, I thought he jumped over each chair individually, not all at once, and that is why he won the bet.
So fun. I liked it!
can we get guanaco-guy banned from this site forever? i find his comment beyond offensive.

Didn't see that one coming! Good teaser! Keep them coming!
Guanaco, Hey man get back on the meds. You obviously have issues and bullies like you are just suffering self hate. look in the mirror and tell yourself you can be a better person.
Guanaco this is a family-oriented site, and your comments will be removed.
Awesome Teaser, Great Job
I hated it. By it, I mean the thing called Guanaco. Your teaser, Rob, was excellent. Enjoyed it.

tee hee. Good one. Went right over my head
That one was soooo thinking outside the box
I Got it!
Cute. Easy but cute..and it is generating such interesting comments
Cool
That was so easy I've known that one since 2nd grade, I am only in eighth grade though
SSSSSOooooooooooo glad the person with the bad mouth was removed. Who ever did it
THANK YOU
THANK YOU
Haha, cute.
yay. that was fun. easy though, which is good.
I doubt Joey was betting on the shoes. Only a sucker would consider making a jump over shoes magnificent and pay off on a duplicitous bet. Am I being too realistic here?
This teaser was soooooo cute ^_^ I so loved it. Great job.
By the way, I know I've waited to add this for some reason, but great teaser, real cute! It took the GT class I'm in a while to get it!
I loved this teaser a lot!!! Keep them coming!!! You earased the guy with the bad mouth, what did he say bout the comment???
haha...I thought that maybe the shoes were like, "Magnificent" brand or something and he threw them over the chairs, therefore a magnificent jump....lol but anyways great job
tricky tricky i thought he was on a horse...its kinda like when my dad asked his teacher one day if he'd jump his car..and the teacher replied i don't think i can jump that high maybe if i got a ramp i could..lol teaches are tricky....are u a tracher??
no im not a tacher lol
haha, nice
fun
Good job
