Something dangerous to eat? Sheesh, don’t you read the papers? Everything’s dangerous nowadays. I vote for a nice juicy steak. The guy dies of a coronary.
Well, he did eventually.
aschrott asks: were their names Adam and Eve?
DING DING DING DING!
Very good!
Yes, indeedy. Well done. A fine Habanos cigar for aschrott!
Well, that was too short to be the last one of the day.
Barbara died in the Appalachian mountains, and there was much sadness and distress. Edward died at sea, and people were thrilled.
How come?
That’s what I was thinking–long shot.
Details, details, Flyp… rolls eyes
But hell, just to check: did the man die from eating the food?
They were hurricanes.
Okay, I don’t like that last one. Hmpf.
As for the next one: because it’s easier to dispose of a body at sea than in the mountains?
Were Barb and Ed human?

wooohooo!

By eating from the Tree, Adam became mortal, and was cast out of the Garden. So in a sense, he “died” because he ate the fruit.
Damn, Fin nailed that one. Nice job, aschrott and Finagle.
Barbara and Edward are hurricanes.
I’m your only friend
I’m not your only friend
But I’m a little glowing friend
But really I’m not actually your friend
But I am
Damn, I think Ace nailed that one.
Finagle proudly says: They were hurricanes.
And so they were.
DIND DING DING DING!
Well done - a fresh Partagas to you.
Sheesh… I wanted a good challenging one to end on.
How about…
The man’s decaying body lay next to a cactus, a revolver near his outstretched hand. Oddly enough, stuck to the cactus is a piece of paper.
How come?
Well, if you want to split Biblical hairs, they didn’t know it was dangerous to eat the apple because they had no notion of the concept before eating of the Tree of Knowledge. They did know it was forbidden.
yeah–Hurricanes looks good for the answer.
Great guess, you two
Did the man shoot himself?
Was the paper a letter?
Was it addressed to the man?
Is the piece of paper a target, for shooting practice?
does the paper say “warning–rattlesnakes”?
Falcon asks: Did the man shoot himself?
YES
Was the paper a letter?
NO
Was it addressed to the man?
NO
