Riddles

An old man and his son were in a car. The car got in a sudden accident and the old man died instantly. However, when the son went to the hospital, the seargent assigned to do his surgery said, "I cannot do surgery on this boy. He is my son." How is this possible?

The sergeant was his mother.

I heard a version of this joke on The Cosby Show. Here it is(paraphrased):
An old man and his son, Arthur, were driving on the highway. The car crashed and the old man was killed instantly. Arthur was rushed to the hospital. When the surgeon came in to operate on him, the surgeon said,"I can't operate on him, He is my son Arthur."
It is pretty much what you said except with the boys name being Arrthur :D
@Ian: You are right :P

@SoulWinner and Ian- You're correct!

Jane was a tennis player
Great was her fame,
She had many trophies,
What was her last name.

I'm guessing that was supposed to trick people into wondering what her last name was. Obviously her last name was What. :D

@SoulWinner- yes, you're right.

Maybe someone else could do a riddle?? =)

"A young businessman had just started his own firm. He had leased a beautiful office and had it furnished with antiques. Sitting behind his desk, he saw a man come into the outer office. Wishing to appear busy, the businessman picked up the phone and started to pretend he had a big deal working.
"Finally, he hung up and asked the visitor, 'May I help you?'
"'Sure,' the man said. 'I've come to hook up your phone!' "
