    Three mysteries

    I'm proud of myself, I actually got all three of these! Let's see how you do.......


    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 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 t here.. 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?


    I won't give the answers away just yet......

    The maid did it, there is no mail on Sunday.

    #1 -- the maid, theres no mail delivery on a Sunday morning
    #2 -- shot the mirror
    #3 -- frost doesn't form on the outside of the window usually, its from condensation forming on the inside of the glass, and crystalizing from the outside air making the pane cold

    Am i right?
