This is something my dad gave me just now. Had to post it.

A woman has five children. Half of them are boys. How is this possible?

Enjoy!

The fifth one was aborted before they found out the gender!

Or, there are four boys and one girl. *nods*

...wait, that would work, wouldn't it?

Well, if she has five kids who are "normal" (I tend to think nobody is truly normal), then it's physically impossible for one person to be half a boy. So, for one half to be boys, the other half must be boys as well.

Get it?

The day, which was one of the first of spring, cheered even me by the loveliness of its sunshine and the balminess of the air. I felt emotions of gentleness and pleasure, that had long appeared dead, revive within me. Half surprised by the novelty of these sensations, I allowed myself to be borne away by them, and forgetting my solitude and deformity, dared to be happy.
