- Mystery Question
An Uber driver is going the opposite way down a one-way street. He passes five policemen along the way, none of whom stops him. Why not?
The first Scout to respond will win one genuine, made in the USA, and authentic American dollar bill! Remember to copy a parent or your response will be invalidated and tossed into the virtual waste basket!
