Three Minute Mysteries, or How Come? Chapter II

Oh bite me, Clog Boy :wink:

serve it up, chef :slight_smile:

Clog Boy? I sense a future username.

Hit me, Bricker!

SR- I’ve heard an alternate version of this one that, IMO, is much tougher to deduce.

I’ll stay out of it cus I’ve heard it before.

Oh and Rick, let’s have another one! It’s not like I’m accomplishing anything at all today anyway… :eek:

Does a Catholic bear crap in the Pope’s hat? Wait, that doesn’t sound right at all…

A woman looks through her living room window and sees a man shoot his mother-in-law in plain view. Yet she doesn’t pick up her phone, which is right there in the living room, and call the police.

How come?

Not a new username, it’s just what Moosie calls me when we cyber. I call her MoosieHo.

Hey, how do y’all like my new sig??

"Yeah, he knows a little about everything because they have a good prison library."

Is the man a photographer?

Is the woman outside looking in, ie: is she in her own house seeing this in another house, or standing outside looking in?

Because she is the mother-in-law and has just been shot dead?

Is the woman deaf and mute?

is she in the living room?

is it her mother he’s shooting?

Flypsyde asks: Is the man a photographer?
NO

SwimmingRiddles asks: Is the woman outside looking in, ie: is she in her own house seeing this in another house, or standing outside looking in?
YES

BING BING BING BING - no need to drag details out. She’s outside looking in.
Now you’ve got a cigar of your own, SR!

Rats. Too quick.

OK…
A woman (maybe the same one! :slight_smile: ) goes out grocery shopping. She comes home, looks at her husband, who had killed himself, and then calmly unpacks her groceries.

How come?

Methinks Flypster got it again…

Is she looking at his body, or a picture? (taking a drag on her smoking phallic symbol)

He had killed himself years ago and she was just looking at his picture?

A-ha! You are now my arch-nemesis, SR!

Good thinking!

And once again, thank you Bricker. Although, why don’tcha give out beer for these too? Maybe just a six pack?


Battles are won in nuance.

was he dead before whe went out shopping?

Perhaps because when he killed himself she had his body cremated and was simply looking at the urn where his ashes are?
