I believe I've told this to fmtiger before, so I would appreciated if he did not answer this one.

I just copied and pasted the answer, so please do not google.
You are inside a standard box-shaped room (four walls, floor, ceiling). There's nothing in the room except you, and you can't call for help in any way. There is no door, no windows, no trapdoors, no skylights, etc, etc. How do you get out?

Here's one that a friend told me.

You are stuck in a room with no exit, no windows, and a mirror and a table. Using both these items, how do you get out? (Hint: It involves major wordplay.)
ornithology, forestry, entomology, triple E, green generation, water quality, dynamic planet (lakes & rivers), awesome aquifers, meteorology, robot arm, write it do it. :)

Okay, here's one that takes a long explanation.
Two guys walk onto a restaurant on an island after 2 months of drifting in a storm on a trawler. They sit down, and because the waitress feels bad for them, she tells them that they can eat the only special for free: an albatross sandwich. They order it, and they each start eating. One guy smiles when he bites in, but the other runs out screaming. Why?
Sorry, I started this before I saw FueL's post.

You look at the mirror, then look away. You saw your reflection. You take the saw and cut the table in half. You put the two halves together to make a whole. You put the hole on the wall and jump out.
