He was in a tree when the place got flooded. Died. Then the place dried to a desert.

And all his clothes fell off, just like Cupid Stunt (double check I spelt that right!)

Sounds good to me Big. I assume the piece of wood is the top of a tree after it was cought in a sand storm.

He went for a walk in the desert. Naked and carrying a stick. Died. End of mystery.

Give up yet????

Ok give this one a try

He was in a hot air balloon, and the balloon was running out of gas, so they had to throw everything out including their clothes. They drew sticks, and this man got the shorter end, and was thrown out of the balloon

Yes, that's the one. I knew I'd heard it before

NickiB · Post by **NickiB** » Thu Aug 08, 2002 2:37 pm

Yep thats the one! Well done Big

How about this one then...Jack and Jill are dead on the floor, all that is nearby is broken glass and water. The window is open. How did they die?

Probably heard this one before

Jack and Jill are the names of two fish and the fish tank blew over breaking the glass and killing the fish!

Hey that was quick!! OK one more....Two men are in a concentration camp, one is good at languages (German) the other at producing documents (German) they teach each other and eventually escape. Yet they don't get far before they are arrested. Why?

It was a non-german concentration camp?

Alternative answer to the desert riddle from a colleague:

The man was an American marine on his finals days of desert training, and in one of his final training missions they drop him off in the desert and he has 2 days to find his way back to base, unfortunately for him a sand storm blows up and he gets disorientated, when the storm dies down he gets picked up by rebels who strip of all his cloths and releases him into a the desert with only a stick, the rest is historyâ€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦.
