Just answer one of the following questions:
1)If oxygen is required to cause something to burn. Why do matches go out when you blow on them?
Answer: You remove the flame which lowers the temperature of the match below its kindling point. (For those who thought it was the carbon dioxide in your breath, think about mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.)
2)What is the most common street name in the USA?
Answer: Park (not Main)
(Note: winner to be drawn from those supplying a correct answer.)

Thank you, thank you...
I'd like to take this opportunity to express my deepest and most heart-felt appreciation for those without whom I might never have reached this pinnacle of achievment.
Now, does anyone know how to make a match burn twice?

Nice way: split the match into two pieces so the you can strike each half separately.
Not nice way: strike the match and then use it to burn the idiot who you're playing the gag on.
