no, but I'm going up, to bed. :lol:

people will have to try a bit harder than that.

Woman on escalator.

she starts to cry.

Why?

all it takes it is a little grey matter, very cunning answer, and I won't be giving anything away, I take my hat off to anyone who can work it out, it's quite clever.
 
You're doing this to wind me up aren't you?

These aren't riddles. They don't have a correct answer. They have billions of answers, and you just choose which one you liked the most.

Agreed. In the question they were alone when they died but in the answer suddenly a dog becomes involved, it could have been anything.

"They were carrying a bowl of water, spilt some of it & slipped, cracking their skulls open"

"They were having a big fight & jumped through a window, Hollywood film style & bled to death"

"A passing burglar stabbed them before making a getaway"

"They bottled each other to death"

"A spaceship came down, an alien smashed a window to get in & killed them both with a deathray"

She's a woman, she needs no excuse to cry

She realised the shops were closed

She got a text/phone call telling her some big news

She saw something that reminded her of the cute little kitty that died recently

The escalator stopped working & she was a cripple

She spotted someone wearing the same shoes as her

She realised it was Japanese flag week & she hadn't bought any tampons

Maybe she was browsing GOT on her iPhone and noticed another one of these ******* riddles had been posted.
 
I'm making them too easy that's what it is, instead of having people putting two and two together it should be like 26 and 37 or something.

these puzzles seem to be more like a Samantha Fox three piece jigsaw than anything challenging.

there was another one I had earlier, I'll put it out of it's misery while I'm at it.


:mellow: A woman was halfway up an escalator when she suddenly burst into tears. :mellow:

Why was this?

not a trick question, but a very cunning answer here.

Life support machine???:):)

She saw her husband with another woman half way down the other one
 
Well, I've been through all ale house threads in the last twenty minutes and couldn't find one that needed a response to, that German ad one I can't view, something about topless women parachuting or something.

anyway, let's cut to the chase. I realize now, that there may be several answers to these puzzles, but only one right one.

In fact, they are not mine, I don't choose the answer, they are out of a little book with only one correct answer, they are not meant to be tricks, no need to get bothered over it when you realize how straight forward it is., let me illustrate.

A woman on an escalator, half way up, she starts to cry. Explain.

' The escalator was in a hospital where she was visiting her husband in intensive care. A power faliure caused the escalator to stop, meaning that her husbands life support machine would have stopped working'

Blue in London got it correct I've just noticed. Well done you.


yeah, I'll admit, it's a little tricky, but not beyond comprehension, not for everybody then. :mellow:


I should of used an easier riddle but, the "standing behind a bull elephant and tickling it's asshole with a feather duster and what happens after", may have been a tad simplistic.

back to Pizzas and Bleach it is.
 
Except for the little caveat that things like Life support are on backup power to prevent little things like this from happening. And I am pretty sure most hospitals these days run diesel generators as a source of that emergency, alternative power.
 
I didn't write the book, it was published in 1994, so maybe things have moved on since then, but not everything changes.

I was just defending myself against some things that were said previous, no harm done.
 
Yeah, he'd have still lived anyway because all machines that important are designed to still work in the event of a power cut.

Doesn't sound good, what happened to her husband? Did he pull through in the end?
