  1. One day a minister was in a school. He said to a boy "What age am I if a room is 20 feet by 40 feet. You are forty four years of age" replied the boy. "You are right" said the minister, how did you know?" "Well", said the boy "I have a brother at home who is half daft and he is 22 years of age. You are whole daft therefore you are twice as old as he".
