got any more up your sleeve, Bricker? These are great.

31

I have a few more…

A woman is brutally murdered; her bad beaten body discovered hidden behind some shubbery near the outskirts of the small town. There are only two suspects: the husband and the lover. The sheriff arrests them both and holds them in jail. He doesn’t speak to either of them for twenty-four hours. The next day, he lets the lover go free… and charges the husband with murder.

How come?

32

is the lover the woman’s lover?

33

aschrott asks: is the lover the woman’s lover?
YES

34

Did the lover have an alibi?

(duh. not a very good question.)

35

The shrubbery was poison ivy or poison oak and the husband broke out in a rash from having touched it. The sheriff knew that he had to wait a day to be sure that the rash would appear.

36

and is the husband the dead woman’s husband?

37

A man is found dead in a field, with a pack on his back.
