Re: July Chuckles
Mystery one
A man was found murdered Sunday morning. His wife immediately called
the police. The police questioned the wife and staff and got these
answers:
The wife said she was sleeping.
The cook was preparing breakfast.
The gardener was gathering vegetables.
The maid was getting the mail.
The butler was polishing shoes in the pantry.
The police instantly arrested the murderer. Who did it and how did
they know?

Mystery two
A man walks into his bathroom and shoots himself right between the
eyes using a real gun with real bullets. He walks out alive, with no
blood anywhere and no, he didn't miss and he wasn't Superman or any
other crusader wearing a cape.
How did he do this?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mystery three
Old Mr. Teddy was found dead in his study by Mr. Fiend.
Mr. Fiend recounted his dismal discovery to the police:
"I was walking by Mr. Teddy's house when I thought I would just pop in
for a visit. I noticed his study light was on and I decided to peek in
from the outside to see if he was in there. There was frost on the
window, so I had to wipe it away to see inside. That is when I saw his
body. So I kicked in the front door to confirm my suspicions of foul
play. I called the police immediately afterward."
The officer immediately arrested Mr. Fiend for the murder of Mr.
Teddy.
How did he know Mr. Fiend was lying?

Try to figure these questions before looking at the answers below.
ANSWERS:
1. It was the Maid. She said she was getting the mail but there is no
mail delivery on Sunday.
2. He shot his reflection in the bathroom mirror.
3. Frost forms inside of the window, not the outside. So Mr. Fiend
could not have wiped it off to discover Mr. Teddy's body.
Did you get them right? Be honest!
