The variation my Dad inflicted on me … repeatedly:
DAD: Adam and Eve and Pinchme went out to the sea to swim. Adam and Eve drowned. Who was left?
MUCH YOUNGER AND MORE GULLIBLE ME: Pinchme. Ow! Why did you do that?

My kid tries that on me, and I say “…sorry, Adam and Eve and who?” and he obligingly says…
And then there’s “If frozen water is iced water, what is frozen ink?”
“Why doesn’t the Queen (President/Pope/prominent figure of your choice) wave with this hand?” waves left hand
“I don’t know.”
“Because it’s mine.”
“What’s green and invisible?”
“I don’t know”
hold out upturned hand “This cabbage”
