was sandal man being electrocuted?
what is essential is invisible to the eye -the fox
Is the use of the term “watch” relivent? (ie: you didn’t say “looked…”)
Was the pole a walking stick?
Did the tackler believe he was aiding the foot shaking man?
Was the pole an electrical power/telephone pole?
I hate having to go back and forth between page 1 and 2, so I’m reposting the riddle here:
A man was walking down a road when a stone lodged itself between his foot and his sandal. He leaned against a pole and, with his head down to watch, he shook his foot to dislodge the stone. Another man came along and tackled the first man, knocking him to the ground.
Was it a cow fence, electrified? Was the “attacker” actually saving Sandal Man, who couldn’t move because he was in the process of becoming fried to a crisp?
Missy2U asks: Was it a traffic light pole
YES
and did the guy tackling him knock him down to keep him from getting hit by a car?
NO

was it during a lightning storm?
Was the pole part of a fence? Was there something on the other side of the fence that was dangerous?
Did the Tackler THINK the Sandal man was being electrocuted from the traffic pole when he saw the Sandal mans foot shaking, so he tackled him?

YES!!
DING DING DING DING!
Sandal Man was holding on to a metal pole, jerking. Tackler, an electrician, thought the pole had become “live” and the Sandal Man was being electrocuted, so he knocked him away from the pole. True story, by the way - Sandal Man’s arm was broken by the tackle, for which Tackler apologized later.
Whew!
Hit “Submit” too soon!
Anyway, a nice Partagas for malaka- well done!
Alright, Bricker, I’ve got a hunger for lifesavers. And if you don’t want your sugar daddy application to get “lost…”
Eupharisto, Bricker!
Thanks to all!
I’m off to lunch…back in an hour.
OK - one more. For the road…
Bruno leaves his at night house, wearing a mask and carrying an empty sack. Several hours later he returns. The sack is now full of items from various people’s houses… but the police will never catch Bruno for this.
How come?
Sheesh.
“Bruno leaves his house at night…”
I must be dyslexic…
It’s Halloween.
Did people give him the items he took?
I ask not what you can do for me, but what you can do for me right now.
And so it is, Finagle! There’s a roll of peppermint Lifesavers for you - well done.
OK - THIS is the one for the road…
Julia drives her car due west for an eighth of a mile, without turning. When she stops, the car is facing east.
How come?
Did she drive over one of the poles?
