An island is inhabited by two tribes. Members of one tribe always tell the truth, members of the other always lie.

A missionary met two of these natives, one tall, the other short. "Are you a truth teller?" he asked the taller one. "Oopf," the tall native answered. The missionary recognized this as a native word meaning either yes or no, but he couldn't recall which.

The short native spoke English, so the missionary asked him what his companion had said. "He say 'yes,'" replied the short native, "but him big liar!" What tribe did each native belong to?

Bro I think there is a slight glitch in the question. I wanted to ask my friends this question(to show off of course ;D) but then I thought they will ask me how the first guy understood the question in English? Any ideas on how to twist the question to make it more logical?

BTW its very interesting and marwen's answer was awesome (as usual.)

Indeed i have no idea what you just said brother but i will now post the next Q

Finally my turn yaye :-\

Next is:
A man walks into a town general store to buy a candy bar.After he does he hears cheering outside. He asks the manager what it is and the manager replies, "In this town we still have town hangings. Would you like to see one? It's going on now." The man who had nothing better to do agreed. They walked outside and the manager looked over. He saw pure horror on the man's face and asked, "What's wrong?" The man staring at the man being hung told him this, "Brothers and Sisters I have none but this man's father is my father's son." Who is the man being hung?

LOL I meant to say that was not exactly a riddle. It is more of an algebraic problem. And the question was a very similar to the one I did in quantitative analysis in the Graduate Record Examination I took....:p
