Puzzle

This works best "live" but lets see how it goes.

This is a puzzle to which you can ask questions to which I can reply only yes or no & its up to you to figure out the answer.

*****************************************************************

As a man jumps out of a window he hears the telephone ring and regrets having jumped. Why ?

because he visualizes his crumpled. bloody, broken body laying on the pavement, and his ex collecting his life insurance? (the phone was just someone selling vacuum cleaners.).

No

(If his wife were Scottish I could understand his suicidal tendencies)

next question please ?

lady cop · Post by **lady cop** » Sat Jul 02, 2005 8:31 am

ok....the window height is not pertinent. but it is to me, would he die if he jumped??? the phone rings, it is his broker telling him euro-disney did not go in the toilet. but he doesn't know that. next yes or no~~~is he cute?

He thought he was dying so he decided to end his life faster?

Was the call from his doctor saying he was going to live?
