An Arab sheik is old and must will his fortune to one of his two sons. He makes a proposition. His two sons will ride their camels in a race, and whichever camel crosses the finish line LAST will win the fortune for its owner. During the race, the two brothers wander aimlessly for days, neither willing to cross the finish line.
In desperation, they ask a wise man for advice. He tells them something; then the brothers leap onto the camels and charge toward the finish line.
What did the wise man say?
This is what he said!

A lift is on the ground floor. There are four people in the lift including me.When the lift reaches first floor, one person gets in and three people get out.The lift goes up to the second floor, 2 people get out 6 people get in.It then goes up to the next floor up, no-one gets out but 12 people get in. Halfway up to the next floor up the lift cable snaps, it crashes to the floor.
Everyone else dies in the lift. How did I survive?
This is how did I!
This was the incident.
Read carefully once again, in journey from 1st to 2nd floor there are only 2
people in the lift. At 2nd floor, 2 people get out that means it includes me
as well. This is how I survived.
A man is driving South to Florida for a vacation. On the way, he realizes that he needs a haircut, so he stops in a small town along the way. He asks one of the residents where he can find a barbershop, and the resident tells him that there are only two barbers in town, one in the north part of town and one in the south. The man visits the north barber, and finds that the barbershop is messy and the barber himself has a bad haircut. He then visits the south barber, who has a clean barbershop and a good haircut.
However, the man decides to return to the north barber for his haircut. Why does he do this?
This is why he does so!
Here is the question!
Since there are only 2 barbershops in town each barber has to go to each other for their haircut. So barber with good haircut must had it from the other barber at the north. Obviously, the man choose him to get a nice look.
