The Cop with the highest arrest record was also the best shot on the police force.  When the Policeman of the Year plaque was awarded, the cop was not even considered.  Why?

Susan's Christmas Shopping

Fifteen year old Susan's Christmas list was not very long.  She made sure all of the presents she needed were acquired early, including some very nice gifts for her mom and dad.  Both her parents were very upset.  Why?

I will answer yes or no questions ONLY!

Dad's Wallet

Solve the following problem.  Give your answer in the comment section with an explanation of the strategy you used, why you used it and how you are ABSOLUTELY sure your answer is correct!

On Wednesday, Dad got paid,  Thursday morning my brother took 1/2 the money to go open a checking account (because he was always short of money). On Friday, I needed some for a movie, so I took half of what remained.  Sis came along next, and took half of the remaining money.  Dad then went to gas up the car and used half of the rest of his money, and he wondered where it all went so fast.  He only had $5 left.  How much money did he start with in his wallet?
