Quiz...
Solve three mysteries
Answers below

Mystery one
A man was found murdered Sunday morning. His wife immediately called the police. The police questioned the wife and staff and got these answers:
The wife said she was sleeping.
The cook was preparing breakfast.
The gardener was gathering vegetables.
The maid was getting the mail.
The butler was polishing shoes in the pantry.
The police instantly arrested the murderer.
Who did it and how did they know?

Mystery two
A man walks into 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 crusader wearing a cape.
How did he do this?

Mystery three
Old Mr. Teddy was found dead in his study by Mr. Fiend. Mr. Fiend recounted his dismal discovery to the police:
"I was walking by Mr. Teddy's house when I thought I would just stop 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.Teddy.
How did he know Mr. Fiend was lying?
Answers:
1. It was the Maid. She said she was getting the mail but there is no mail delivery on Sunday.
2. He shot his reflection in the bathroom mirror.
3. Frost forms inside of the window, not the outside. So Mr. Fiend could not have wiped it off to discover Mr. Teddy's body.
Did you get them right?

Bill and Hillary

When Bill and Hillary first got married Bill said, "I am putting a box under the bed. You must promise never to  look in it."
In all their 30 years of marriage,  Hillary never looked. On the afternoon of their 30th anniversary, curiosity got  the best of her and she lifted the lid and peeked inside. In the box were 3  empty beer cans and $81,874.25 in cash.
  She closed the box and put it back  under the bed. Now that she knew what was in the box, she was doubly curious as  to why there even was such a box with such contents. That evening, they were out  for a special anniversary dinner.
  After dinner, Hillary could no longer contain her curiosity and she confessed, saying, "I am so sorry, Bill.  For all these years , I kept my promise and never looked into the box under our  bed. However, today the temptation was too much and I gave in. But now I need to know - why do you keep the 3 beer cans in the box?"
  Bill thought for a while and said,  "I guess after all these years you deserve to know the truth. Whenever I was  unfaithful to you, I put an empty beer can in the box under the bed to remind  myself not to do it again."
  Hillary was shocked, but said,  "Hmmm, Jennifer, Paula and Monica. I am very disappointed and saddened by your  behavior. However, since you are addicted to sex I guess it does happen and I  guess 3 times is not that bad considering your problem."
  Bill thanked her for being so  understanding. They hugged and made
  their peace. A little while later Hillary  asked Bill, "So why do you have all that money in the box?"
Bill answered: "Well, whenever the  box filled up with empty cans, I took them to the recycling center and redeemed them for cash."


Fridays In Hell

One day a guy dies and finds himself in hell. As he is wallowing in despair, he has his first meeting with the devil...
Satan: 'Why so glum?'
Guy: 'What do you think? I'm in hell!'
Satan: 'Hell's not so bad. We actually have a lot of fun down here. You a drinking man?'
Guy: 'Sure, I love to drink.'
Satan: 'Well, you're gonna love Mondays then. On Mondays, that's all we do is drink. Whiskey, tequila, Guinness, wine coolers, even moonshine. We drink 'til we throw up, and then we drink some more! And you don't have to worry about getting a hangover, because you're dead anyway.'
Guy: 'Gee that sounds great!'
Satan: 'You a smoker?'
Guy: 'You better believe it!'
Satan: 'All right! You're gonna love Tuesdays. We getc the finest cigars from all over the world, and smoke our lungs out. If you get cancer - no biggie, you're already dead, remember?'
Guy: 'Wow... that's awesome!'
Satan: 'I bet you like to gamble.'
Guy: 'Why, yes, as a matter of fact I do.'
Satan: 'Good, 'cause Wednesdays you can gamble all you want. Craps,
blackjack, roulette, poker, slots, whatever. If you go bankrupt, it doesn't matter, you're dead anyhow.'
Guy: 'Cool!'
Satan: 'What about drugs?'
Guy: 'Are you kidding? Love drugs! You don't mean...?'
Satan: 'That's right! Thursday is drug day. Help yourself to a great big bowl of crack or smack. Smoke a doobie the size of asubmarine. You can do all the drugs you want. You're
dead so who cares.'
Guy: 'Wow! I never realized Hell was such a cool place!'
Satan: 'You gay?'
Guy: 'No...'
Satan: 'Oooo, Fridays are gonna be tough...'
