Have to put in a little more time exercising my brain! Not that it will do all that much good.

I did okay with the first part, and laughed at all the rest; thanks. 👍
Here's one for you...
A man was born before his father, k**led his mother, and married his sister, yet nothing was wrong with what he had done, how is this posible.?
Answer ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
The man was born before his father - the father was present during childbirth.
K**led his mother - she died during child birth.
Married his sister - he became a priest and presided over the ceremony.

I missed the last one, there were a couple of things they had in common but one was shot down by the writer. I even considered they were some sort of anagram but I couldn't shuffle the letters into different words. Simple and tough at the same time.

You can breath thru your nose when your tongue is out if you put your lips around your tongue.
