Here's another:

A man walks into a hardware store and asks the salesman for the price of a product. The salesman tells him that it costs $2 to buy one, $4 to buy ten, and $6 to buy one hundred. What product did the man want to buy?

Numbers for the address on houses... pretty easy

What's unusual about the following paragraph?

"Gatsby was walking back from a visit down in Branton Hill's manufacturing district on a Saturday night. A busy day's traffic had had its noisy run; and with not many folks in sight, His Honor got along without having to stop to grasp a hand, or talk; for a mayor out of City Hall is a shining mark for any politician. And so, coming to Broadway, a booming bass drum and sounds of singing, told of a small Salvation Army unit carrying on amidst Broadway's night shopping crowds.

There's no "E", the most common letter in the alphabet...

Here's one:

At one time, the Canadian and US dollars were discounted by 10 cents on each side of the border (i.e., a Canadian dollar was worth 90 US cents in the US, and a US dollar was worth 90 Canadian cents in Canada). A man walks into a bar on the US side of the border, orders 10 US cents worth of beer, pays with a US dollar and receives a Canadian dollar in change. He then walks across the border to Canada, orders 10 Canadian cents worth of beer, pays with a Canadian dollar and receives a US dollar in change. He continues this throughout the day, and ends up drunk with the original dollar in his pocket.
Who pays for the drinks?

You'd think the bartenders would get smart and give the same currency as change...

Hope that guy has a passport.

I've got one: Name a nine letter word that remains a word after you take out one letter at a time, right down to one letter? (example: straps - traps - taps) List all nine forms of the word.

Startling is one...

Startling
Starting
Staring
String
Sting
Sing
Sin
In
I

I can't help but think American is one...though not 9 letters...and it probably isnt...
