skipping the ones already answered

Las Vegas
Tanya has taken two trips to Las Vegas with her husband Leo, but Leo has taken only one trip to Las Vegas with Tanya. How is this possible?

She's had two different husbands, both named Leo, and gone once with each.

Alternate theory that I personally like better, one of the trips was while she was preggers. She gave birth, named him leo, then later married him.

Linseed
Rearrange the letters of GROW NO LINSEED to spell one single word.

ONE SINGLE WORD

Lori
In which state does Lori live?

The state of confusion, as with all women.

Fool
K: Look, Fren Li, here comes that simpleton Phu Dhal Mya.
F: Why do you call him a simpleton, Kuh Ki?
K: Watch, I will show you. Here, Phu, would you like this shiny quarter, or this dollar bill?
P: I would like the shiny quarter.
K: See? He does that every time.
F: I think you are the greater fool.
K: Why?

Because if he took the dollar Kuh Ki would quit doing it. If he takes the quarter Kuh Ki keeps giving him money time after time.

The Suspects
Two suspects are brought in for questioning after a murder. The only statements the police can get are these.
Suspect A: I am innocent.
Suspect B: Exactly one of us is telling the truth.
Which one is the murderer?

Suspect A

[purplepolecat]

OBJECTION!


Suspect B could be guilty.

This would make his statement a logical paradox, but it's fairly easy to make logically paradoxical statements, e.g. "This statement is false."

Leo could have been living in Vegas already when Tanya first went there, then he moved away with her, and they both went back together.

The man with the birthday in September is a huge liar.

Suspect B could be guilty.

Incorrect. If B is lying, then either both must be telling the truth or both must be lying (either exactly two or exactly zero people are telling the truth, which are our only options). Since we've just established that B is lying, they both must be lying. Thus A's statement of "I am innocent" is a falsehood and A is NOT innocent, and therefore guilty.

[Savia]

The man was born in the town of March, during the month of September. He grew up and become a priest, whereupon he officiated at the wedding of his adoptive father (or indeed of his own priest depending on your religion).

Anyhow:

Two plumbers are working on a job. One is the other's son, but the other is not his father. How?

Spoiler :

It's a mother/son pair. Nothing ever said the plumbers were both male.
