lateral Thinking Puzzles:

- Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice all live in the same house. Bob
and Carol go out to a movie, and when they return, Alice is lying dead
on the floor in a puddle of water and glass. It is obvious that Ted
killed her but Ted is not prosecuted or severely punished.

Answer: Alice is a goldfish; Ted is a cat.

- A woman comes home with a bag of groceries, gets the mail, and
walks into the house. On the way to the kitchen, she goes through the
living room and looks at her husband, who had blown his brains out. She
then continues to the kitchen, puts away the groceries, and makes
dinner.

Answer: The husband killed himself a while ago; it's his ashes in an urn
on the mantelpiece that the wife looks at.
