Problems with the gene pool.


Frequently the commander tells me I am not normal, or right, or something to that effect. Lord Kadizzle will have to admit there are some aberrations in our gene pool. I am not the only one in the family with DNA gone astray. My sister Kate thinks DNA stands for Does Not Apply. We are not sure if she has any, but it scares me that we may share some. Today she sent me the following problem.

You are driving in a car at a constant speed. On your left side is a drop off (The ground is 18-20 inches below the level you are traveling on), and on your right side is a fire engine traveling at the same speed as you. In front of you is a galloping horse which is the same size as your car and you cannot overtake it. Behind you is another galloping horse. Both horses are also traveling at the same speed as you. What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?

It turned out the answer was "Get your drunk ass off the merrygoround". I think Kate must have solved this problem at one time or another.
