These are all mindtrap riddles and way too open ended. Here's mine:

There may or may not be something in your house with 4 legs. What is it?

Turn on light switch one and wait long enough for a light bulb to get hot.

Turn off light switch one.

Turn on light switch two.

Open door.

If light is off and bulb is hot, switch one works the light. If light is on, switch two works the light. If light is off and bulb is not hot, switch three works the light.

In answer to number two:

The man had the hiccups. He wanted a glass of water to help cure them, instead, the bartender scared them away.
