I nearly fell for this one, but then I realised if an electric train is smoking then it's time to call the Lair Legion.
> A cock lays an egg right at the border between France and Spain. Both countries are argueing who will get it. Who has the right?

They're arguing about it because basilisks come from eggs laid by cocks (not hens), and hatched on a dunghill at midnight. that's quite a bio-weapon.
> Last week I went to York, the traffic was OK and the journey took 2 and a half hours. On my return, the traffic was similar, but I made it back in 150 minutes. How come?

> I'm sitting at a table. Ten flies land on it. With one swot I kill three flies. How many flies are left on the table?
