Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The local jail recently held a survey among their prisoners. What turned out to be the favourite punctuation mark for the jailbirds?

Answer: The period

 The period is most popular among jailbirds, because it marks the end of the sentence. In the same survey it was found out the jail wasn't modern enough in their communication, so it was decided to issue cell phones.
2. Some criminals go to the strangest places. What happened to the thief who tried to pilfer from the blood bank?

Answer: He got caught red handed

 Boy, was his face red too! In addition to the recent crime spree, the blood bank had to deal with a lot of vampires. They were all there to open up a savings account. It sucked up quite a bit of time.
3. At the local courthouse they started giving out magazine subscriptions to a selected group of convicts. What magazine is the most popular?

Answer: Life

 Apparently this version of the magazine comes without parole. The number two in the list is "Time". This one comes with a hand written note from the judge saying "You'll be doing a lot of it".
4. In order to make the electric chair a little more friendly, what item is now being handed out at the local jail?

Answer: A cushion

 Obviously they are really going for death by electric cushion! They seem to be only using it,though,for those charged with assault and battery. They seldom meet with resistance.
5. When a robber was recently arrested after a long chase, where was he found?

Answer: A shower

 He was trying to make a clean getaway. Incidentally,he told the officers doing the arrest that he did not like soap, but they should not rub it in his face. He hated seeing soap at his local supermarket too, saying "I hate seeing them bars all the time".
6. The police recently arrested a guy named Tom who was trying to look at people making love in the nearby forest. He wasn't local though. What country did he come from?

Answer: China

 You've guessed it. He was a "Peking Tom". It was also deduced this guy had cheated on exams during his school years. He was always "Peking".
7. A man training recruits for the local group of pirates, explained there is one thing they all can't do well. What would that be?

Answer: Singing

 When the trainer retired, he explained that all new pirates were terrible at singing. They could not hit the high seas! There were also problems in learning the alphabet. Some of them kept insisting there were 7 C's.
8. The local jail gives out medication for a specific ailment these days. What ailment would this be?

Answer: Acne

 The inmates were constantly breaking out. When some of them managed to get away, they were usually found very quickly. They were pretty easy to spot.
9. There was an uprising at the local prison recently, when the inmates complained about their breakfast. The thieves were most vocal. How did they like their eggs?

Answer: Poached

 The cannibals tried to join in on the uprising, but they were eventually given the cold shoulder. Some inmates did manage to get some guns and found their way into the kitchen. They were just taking a potshot though.
10. When the police recently arrested a bank robber who had lost his marbles, what turned out to be his real profession?

Answer: Geologist

 The geologist immediately tried to convince them he really did have a clean slate. When the cops ignored him for a minute, he complained about being taken for granite. The police finally deduced they were dealing with none other than Sherlock Holmes. His only comment to his assistant upon his arrest was: "Sedimentary, my dear Watson".
