You have probably heard these before but i think they are quite good, have a go-

A man is lying awake in his bed, he makes a phone call, says nothing, and puts the phone down. Why?

There is a man in the street with a small umbrella, 50 large people attempt to fit underneath it but they cant, still, no one gets wet. Why?

They are pretty easy.

Bit late...

Why should you always carry a watch when crossing a desert?

For the first one, I say, he was listening to the time, you know that number you dial that tells you the time.

The second, it isn't raining, it is sunny, and the man is using an umbrella as a parasol. I don't know if anyone else got these, I didn't look, just scrolled down to the bottom and replied.

The first one is he phoned the speaking clock, and the second is because it was not raining. Well done English_Blokey old chap.

And DW, yes my name is Chad.
