A cure for motion sickness...

This post is dedicated to Stephen, Tyler, and Jesse. These three guys kept me entertained the whole way down the mountain yesterday with this super hard riddle that I was determined to figure out.

They were so engaging, I didn't even need my Dramamine!

Here's it is:

A man walks into a restaurant and orders a fried pelican sandwich. He takes one bite and immediately gets up, leaves the restaurant and shoots himself dead.

Why did he take his own life?


I figured it out, but only after asking about 984 "yes or no"questions.

Today I shared the riddle with my family. It took 10 of them about an hour to solve the riddle. Good times!

Happy Mother's Day Mom!

I f'ing hate that joke. No seriously, Stephen Pate told that joke to us on the way to Winter Camp and had all of the high school kids stuck on it for an hour or so up the mountain. Our friendship is now over. Hope we can still go to the reunion togerher though.

That's definitely a good one. I won't ruin it for those that haven't heard it before. How about this one. A frisky couple on their first date return to his apartment to "enjoy the rest of the evening". She goes to hang her coat in the closet, begins to cry and then runs out-- Why?
(I don't think I left anything out)
Enjoy!
