This puzzle answer is ridiculous right?

[Parkandride]

Two men went into a restaurant. They both ordered the same dish from the menu. After they tasted it, one of the men went outside the restaurant and shot himself. Why?

I'll put the answer below incase you want to guess. But I can't see how the hell you could ever reach this conclusion

It sounds like the plot reveal of a Sophie Hannah novel.

@tummyaches

That's as bad as the arm in the post one

Do tell

A woman is at her sister's funeral. She sees a handsome stranger across the room, but doesn't have the chance to talk to him. Six months later, she kills her mother. Why?

Apparently if you can solve it, you think like a psychopath

Why is no one talking about the fact that albatross meat and human flesh are different textures?
I'm a veggie btw...I'll get my coat.

@Ovenhell I remember that riddle from my childhood too!!

I LOVE these! The albatross one is a classic. I distinctly remember wheeling out all my best riddles on a second date many years ago. God love him, we've somehow been married 7 years!!

Why does he automatically presume it was his dead son’s flesh he ate on the island?
Why would you order albatross pizza if you’d had a belly full of it on the island?
What kind of a restaurant serves albatross pizza?
So many questions.

sky same here 😂😂

I love to tell this albatross one ... but usually get met with sighs groans tuts and eye rolls 😂😂

Because her mother hooks up with the handsome man, who also happens to be rich? They marry, so the daughter thinks she will inherit his fortune? I hope I'm not right btw.

@HandsFaceSpaceHopper

Oh my god, was one of the men called Boswell?

She kills her mum in the hope that the handsome man will go to the funeral?

Even more baffling, why have I made it into albatross pizza? 🤔

Answer please JesusInTheCabbageVan !

Or she finds out that her mother killed her sister, so kills her mother for revenge?

@HelenBach

She kills her mum in the hope that the handsome man will go to the funeral?

Yes! Congratulations Mrs Lecter.

Well done HelenBach

Ooo Mrs Lecter! I quite like that name!!

I would prefer it if the man THOUGHT he had eaten human flesh on the island, but then realised it was albatross and shot himself out of guilt because they are endangered.

I am crucified to prevent a murder. What am I?

A scarecrow (murder of crows?)

The arm in the post one:

One day a man received a parcel in the post. Carefully packed inside was a human arm. He examined it, repacked it and then sent it on to another man. The second man also carefully examined the arm before taking it to the woods and burying it. Why did they do this?

Hint, it also involves a desert island and is weird

Yes! Bloody hell, you people are annoyingly good.

Ooh, I know this one - we had it on some work team building day about 10 years ago. I won't give it away.

What a jolly away day @LApprentiSorcier

ANSWER:

The three men had been stranded on a desert island. Desperate for food, they had agreed to amputate their left arms in order to eat them. They swore an oath that each would have his left arm cut off. One of them was a doctor and he cut the arms off his two companions. They were then rescued. But his oath was still binding so he later had to have his arm amputated and sent to his colleagues.

remind me never to get stuck on an island, no good can come of it

OK, so the two men were on the desert island, with a third man.

The men were starving, so they had a pact that they would each cut off an arm, for food. Two of the men did, but the third man chickened out and just ran round and round the island and they couldn't catch him because they only had one arm. Then they were rescued. Consumed by guilt, the third man eventually cut his arm off and posted it to them.

I rule!
