Had a couple thrown at me in the pub the other night, one of which I recognised but couldn't remember. Anyway, I finally got them, so here they are (if you know it, don't spoil it tongue out)

1) A man and a boy are in a sportscar and have a serious accident. The man is killed outright and the boy is in bad shape. Airlifted to hospital and wheeled into the operating room, the waiting surgeon suddenly says, "I can't operate on him, he's my son."

How?

2) Archeologists discover an ice block buried in the ground. On digging it out, they see the naked body of a woman perfectly preserved. Without any hesitation at all, they confidently declare that it must be Eve, the first woman on earth.

Why?

3) This last one isn't a riddle as such - the way it was presented to me was that it's a game. There are only two rules to the game - a) you can't tell anyone the rules and b) you can't ask anyone the rules. You just have to respond appropriately.

I like wood but I don't like plastic
I like yellow but I don't like blue
I like football but I don't like rugby.

The surgeon is one the boys parents, mother or father, says nothing about the man in the car being his dad.

But yes, I screwed up - should have said "boy and his father are in a car".

The idea is simple, go to the pub with your friends and talk complete and utter random nonsense. It's brilliant.
