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!

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?
