David: Albatross? I have heard that one before (kind of stupid) but what brought that up?

Answer 1

1. He was in the hospital elevator and when the elevator stops the power went out and his wife died cuz she was on respirators?

2. The twins weren't wearing sunglasses so they've been there.

3. He was an archaelogist and found a skelton and named her. She called his wife that name and she got fired.

4. He was a lion guy?

5. The car was on a slope and went down?

Answer 2

1. Hospital elevator and wife on some machine working through electricity. OR He calls his wife, Elevator. OR He calls his wife, Electricity.

2. The burgler was standing in front of a mirror thats why the loot wa in between. OR (the funny way is) the policeman gets drunk and sees only one of the two burgler. lol

3. She is an air hostess and invites them over dinner on board.

4. He could not find a chair to sit on so he sat on something else which resulted inhis death.

5. The man was below the car repairing the engine leakage. The car moved over him.



(i guess they are not the correct answers. I would like to know the asnwers. Make sure the answers are valid. Btw, no one answered the second question so i gave your question a try just for that sake)

Answer 3

Hmmm...
1. Man's wife needs an iron lung in order to breathe, and the elevator stops because the power goes out?
2. Interesting...no idea.
3. Another no idea.
4. Let's see...maybe "he" was a survivor of a shipwreck, and couldn't find a chair to use as a float?
5. Several possibilities. Parking brake gives way, and car rolls into traffic, causing a fatal accident. Or maybe the car "moves" by falling off a jack, killing the man working underneath it.

Thanks for no damn albatross ones...

Answer 4

1. Her wife was cleaning the elevator duct at the bottom of the building, so when it stops it's because it landed on the woman.
2. The thief was running from the cop, so he must have been sweating, so the policeman knew for that
3. She's a cook, she should not invite people to dinner, but charge them for that.
4. He wanted the chair to reach a bookshelf full of books, when he reached for the books without the chair, the bookshelf fell over him.
5. The car without a driver hits a man on the street and kills him. or... the man realized the car had no breaks and threw himself out of the car, but he didn't make it.
