One archelologist has been working in palestine for some time, when he suddenly came upon an ancient grave with a mumified body in it. he then goes to a well know museum, and says "I've found a mumified man, who lived about 3000 years ago and died of a heart attack." the museum curator smiles at him, and says "bring yur mummy to us , and we'll study it." which he did.
in one weeks time curator calls him and says" you've turned out to be right about the time of death, but pray tell me how you found out the cause".
"it was very simple- said the archeologist- the mummy had an ancient paper saying "10000 sheqels on goliath" in his hand"

This man owned a pub.  He had owned it for years, but recently it hadn't been doing so well, and he was losing money.

He told his friend that he was fed up with losing money.  He was going to sell the pub, and open up a brothel instead.  

The friend turned to him, and said 'Don't be stupid.  If you can't make any money selling beer, what on earth makes you think you can make money selling soup?'

I'm sure you know what a brothel is.  But Broth is a kind of soup.  The friend got confused, and thought he was going to sell soup.

*feels like giving random linguistic information*
Did you know that "brothel" was originally a term for a worthless fellow? The meaning eventually shifted to "prostitute". The word as we know it is actually an abbreviation of "brothel-house".

The two words aren't etymologically related, though. Obviously.

ok, here's the last part:

you come across a river populated only with crocodiles. what do you do to get to the other side?

You call for Chuck Norris?   I couldn`t help my self, he`s my new idol

Do you know when is the elephant heavier?

[Japofran]

You wait for the cocrodiles to starve, since there's nothing for them to feed on?

EDIT: Ah that was about the river question, hadn't read the whole post. Have I interrupted some chain of absurdities?
