People often flush immediately before Fido enters their house. Why? If he had seen the sawdust, he wouldn’t have committed suicide. Why? A man walks into a bar and asks for a glass of water.

He was a sailor that had been stranded on an island with his crewmates. At first some of the crew died of starvation/disappear, but then the captain started feeding them duck until they were rescued. When the man tastes duck and it doesn’t taste as it did on the island, he realizes that what he was eating on that island was not duck, but was in fact his deceased crewmates. The guilt is too much for him and he kills himself. ---

Bicycles are a card brand; the 53rd is his, which he was using to cheat, and the other men he was playing with killed him. * * * [Kupek’s Den](http://www.geocities.com/~tortolia/kupek) ---
