Sorry this one has probably done the rounds, but seeing as I find myself at a very loose end today (cancelled meeting) and I've walked the legs off the big dog and mentally tortured the pup.......I have nothing better to do :rolleyes:

A woman gets into a lift and suddenly the lift comes to a halt, she looks panick striken because she knows that her husband is dead................................How? ;)

I'm now having a bet with myself, that the first person to comment on this will get the right answer........ooh well :rolleyes:

He was working on top of the lift ?

And if I'm wrong you have to pm me so I can delete it :D :D :D

I've just lost that bet with myself Teri, yippeee :D

But feel free to delete anyway :P

I'm sure i know this, and that the answer is simple, but I just can't remember what it is!!  Give me another 10 minutes, and then please pm me and tell me, cos it'll drive me crazy!!

It's not something stupid like her husband always told her that if he died he would stop a lift whilst she was in it as a sign?!

noooo Keeley, far to complicated :P

Ah, but now you can go treat yourself with your winnings   Feminine logic, right?  so who needs lateral thinking :D :D :D

I do excel on hind sight if that's any help :rolleyes:

ps. on hind sight, does that mean I can go treat myself on my winnings

Perhaps hind sight isn't my forte either :(   I can shop .........

She already knew her husband was dead, but is panic stricken because she's frightened of lifts?

Whose winnings Teri? mine, yours...........you didn't award yourself any winnings........did you? :D :P

Ahh the benefit of hind sight, if I had that I wouldn't be here today, I'd have been here yesterday.....

I hate shopping

Is he the lift attendant ?

Nope ;)

Her husband was stood next to her and had a massive heart attack?

was he 'hanging' in the corner and as the lift moved his foot hit the 'stop' button?  :D :D

Nope ;) this is fun

Because his head is on the lift floor, when the doors closed they chopped him into two pieces!!

I can't believe I just though of that!

Oh Steph you have a dark side........are you having a bad day? :D

Not the answer though ;)

Ok, I'm on a 'need to know basis' now, and I desperately 'need to know' this bloody answer - please pm me!!

She just had a text/call telling her?

He had died 2 years ago but she was in denial - it's just sunk in.

because he is in the coffin she took in the lift with her?

No, I'm having a GREAT day, the sun is shining, I'm off work, kids at school, dogs snoozing, tennis on TV.  What more could a girl want?

Was her husband working below the lift, and the lift has just squished him.

You'll all have to keep guessing ;)

she'd set a bomb to go off to kill her husband at a particular time

Good try but................nil point :P

She looks panic stricken because she killed him?

Nope ;) *evil grin*

she had poisoned him before leaving to go shopping,using his credit card of course,the lift stopping was just coincidence
mel :)

yes and she was panic stricken because she'd left his body in the boot of her car!!

which she had loaned to her best mate who was a police officer and disposed of the body for her
i think its a very good explanation myself thank you for the add on
mel :)

great minds eh?
Or murderous ones :D

Are we starting another 'story' here? :D :D

lmao :D

Which means?!?!?

what means what which?

Oh you means lmao

Sure do!  There's lots on here that I don't understand!!

I know ROFL, and IMO, and TBH and LOL, but anything else is beyond me!!

l m a o usually translates to laughing my ass off
i didnt realise we were starting a new story just giving an expanation for the lift incedent seeming as we dont know the answer yet
mel :)

I know Mel, I was joking!! ;)  I'm rather sarcastic on times - sorry!

quite ok was joking back at you didnt realise it looked like a new story till i read it back :D

I am trying to find the answer, honest, in fact I've got loads of them but just not found the right one yet :P

so when you gonna tell us the answer????
please !!!
mel :)

ive got it -

The lift is in a hospital, her husband is on life support, and the power has just cut out.
(Actually i bet that they have emergency generators for the life support, and how would she know it was the power to the whole hospital and not just the lift?)

well................

They probably would have generators, but it's a very good idea, I thought you'd got it until you pointed out the generator bit!  Mind, you still might have got it yet!!

There's always one smart ar*e :D

Actually this puzzler was one that got me about 20 yrs ago and yep, I still keep reviving them.

The actual story is that the woman was in a glass lift of the block of flats that she lived in, (hence she saw all the lights were out for several blocks)  she was going down as the hospital that she needed to visit to see her husband who was on life support was next door to her block, the power went down on the whole block so she figured that as there was no power, then the life support would also go down.

Yes they do have generators in hospitals these days, but 20 odd yrs ago, who knows. Even if they did, it would have spoilt the point of the whole story. ;)

Yay - thank goodness for that.  I was getting desperate!!

It was the guy who sits opposite me at work who is the smart ar#se, the only smart thing I did was ask him :D

Think about it Claire..........you're the smart one for getting someone else to give you the answer :D

i think the alternate versions were better,i do like a juicy thriller :D

But..........one begs the question, what was he doing in hospital on the life support machine anyway? Who put him there?

Did he live because they had a generator? Was the panick striken look on the wifes face, one of remorse, grief or relief?

Answers on a postcard please :P
