1) A man was found murdered on Sunday morning. His wife immediately called the police. The police questioned the wife and staff and got these alibis:

The Wife said she was sleeping.
The Cook was cooking breakfast.
The Gardener was picking vegetables.
The Maid was getting the mail.
The Butler was cleaning the closet.

The police instantly arrested the murdered. Who did it and how did they know?




Answer

It was the Maid. She said she was getting the mail. There is no mail on Sunday!
(next day air and email doesn't count)

2) A man walks into a his bathroom and shoots himself right between the eyes using a real gun with real bullets. He walks out alive, with no blood anywhere. And no, he didn't miss and he wasn't Superman or any other caped crusader.
How did he do this?


Answer

He shot his reflection in the bathroom mirror.


3) Old Mr. Tidy was found dead in his study by Mr. Fiend. Mr. Fiend recounted his dismal discovery to the police. "I was walking by Mr. Tidy`s house when I thought I would just pop in for a visit. I noticed his study light was on and I decided to peek in from the outside to see if he was in there. There was frost on the window, so I had to wipe it away to see inside. That is when I saw his body. So I kicked in the front door to confirm my suspicions of foul play. I called the police immediately afterward." The officer immediately arrested Mr. Fiend for the murder of Mr. Tidy. How did he know Mr. Fiend was lying?


Answer

Frost forms on the inside of the window, not the outside.
So Mr. Fiend could not have wiped it off to discover Mr. Tidy`s body


4) If you touch me, you will die, but you can not live without me. I am a big part of your life, and will eventually be the only thing left. You will learn to embrace me finally at rest. What am I?


Answer

Death

Do you remember the riddles from the Hobbit?

1)

This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.

2)

What has roots as nobody sees,
Is taller than trees
Up, up it goes,
And yet never grows?

3)

Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking

Sounds like she was framed.
