One's born on a Wednesday in January, one on a Wednesday in September / October or any other date that is 9 months later than the first.

A man lives on the 15th floor in a 15 storey block of flats. Every morning he takes the lift to the ground floor and goes to work.
When he returns every night he goes to the 8th floor and walks the rest.
Why?

A bloke is afloat at sea in a little boat with a packet of cigarettes. There is nothing else in the boat. He is not allowed to damage the boat. How does he light a cigarette???
