Actually, it was Biotop’s point #1 above that solved it.
Someone smarter than I will have to come up with the next one.
Here’s a favorite of mine:
A man on horseback is passing through some private gardens. It’s OK though, he knows the owner and has been here many times. He does, however, notice a greenhouse he has never seen in the gardens before. But he neither goes inside nor messes with the greenhouse in any way. A dog stands by the greenhouse, but it doesn’t bark and the man pays it no attention.
Upon leaving the gardens, however, the man is confronted by a policeman and sent to prison. Why?
Is he playing Monopoly? That’ one’s not really fair, since a green house is not a green house.
Remove whichever space you like from “green house”
Yep, that’s it…with liberties taken with “green house”.
How about:
Joe wants to go home, but he can’t because a man wearing a mask is waiting for him. What is the problem?
Is Joe’s profession (or, more general, the activity he earns his money with) important?
Yes indeed Schnitte, I believe you have the answer…
Is Joe a baseball player, and the catcher is waiting for him at home plate? Although, the catcher is always waiting for you, so I’m probably wrong.
That’s it Lost In Reality. Joe is on third and sees the catcher waiting at home plate with the ball, and so decides to stay at third base to avoid being tagged out.
Actually no, I really was suspecting there some criminal acitvity behind it. Just a WAG.
:o 
I guess that’s why these can be tough.
O.K., I’m going by memory here, but isn’t the go to jail spot only one away from the Marvin Gardens spot? How’d he roll a one with two dice in play? Of course, I’m probably overthinking it.
Nah…he was passing through the garden, probably having rolled a 6-4 from the free parking spot. The dog however, was situated on Marvin Gardens.
Ahhhhh, thanks. Now I can sleep easier.
There’s a cabin in the mountains. The cabin is full of dead people. How did they die?
Does it have to do with the chimney/fireplace in the cabin?

Plane Crash.
The cabin is an airline cabin. A plane crashed into a mountain.
