Here's one I haven't heard before:

During WWII, there was a bridge connecting Germany and Switzerland, and on the German side, there was a sentry tower with a guard in it. He would come out every three minutes to check on the bridge, and he had orders to turn back anyone who tried to get into Germany, and shoot anyone trying to escape without a pass. There was a woman who desperately needed to get into Switzerland, and she knew she didn't have time to get a pass. It would take her five minutes to cross the bridge, but she managed to do it. How?

[Lamsey]

She should walk on to the bridge just after he has checked, and start crossing.

After two minutes, she must turn back and start walking towards Germany again.
The German guard will come out before she reaches Germany and turn her back, allowing her to enter Switzerland safely.

@ Lamsey: That is exactly why that trick doesn't work on cars that are difficult to steal.

Edit: damn, you're too quick for me today.

Here's another then:

A man was found shot dead in his study. He was slumped over his desk and a gun was in his hand. There was a cassette recorder on his desk. When the police entered the room and pressed the play button on the tape recorder they heard, "I can't go on. I have nothing to live for."Then there was the sound of a gunshot. How did the detective immediately know that the man had been murdered?

He couldn't have pressed stop and rewind to get the tape in the right place for the police to press play?


EDIT: I mean, it was leprechauns!

I always thought they were called "jockeys"...

That's right, the leprechauns did it.

[Proper Bo]

they told you to say that didn't they?!

[lynx]

they can't get me, I've got lead-lined underpants.

Doesn't half cause a nasty bit of chaffing though.

Well, apparently bigboab's squeezing a few more drops out of the suspense factor so allow me; B)
