Really Really Dumb Criminals 25 ~ Mystery Question

Patricia Bradley Mystery Question 1 Comment

Really Really Dumb Criminals 25 is this week’s Mystery question. Again it’s from the archives, but I don’t think anybody will remember it because I didn’t. Lol.I’m working off my phone so this will probably be brief.

But first the photo and verse. It too is from the archives since it takes so long to upload a new photo. This is one of the clouds that looked as though they had a doorway to heaven in it, and I thought the verse fit. 🙂 I happened to catch the photo one late June or July day when the clouds were so pretty.

Now for last week’s Mystery Question Really Really Dumb Criminals 24. Below are four scenarios. Three are actually true. One is false. Which one did I make up?
  1. It was February, and a couple in the middle of a divorce were walking along the bank of a river, quarreling. Unable to win his point, the frustrated man suddenly shoved the woman into the icy river, jumping in to push her under again and again! The only problem? He couldn’t swim and his wife could. She swam to safety while he sank…he died on February 14.
  2. Two men had spent the day on the river bank fishing and guzzling beer. As they trecked back to their truck with their meager catch, they had to cross a pasture with a long-horned bull in it. One man dared the other to slap the bull on his rump. When he refused, words ensued regarding his character and then a fight broke out, catching the attention of the bull. The men were so intent on their fight they failed to see the bull charging until he’d hooked one of them… on his rump.
  3. A young couple set out to prove that evil is a make-believe concept the human race invented. They set out on a bike ride to prove their new worldview. Sadly, after a year of biking, they were killed by ISIS militants.
  4. A helpful neighbor spent his last moments helping a friend weld an exhaust pipe. He arrived at the garage shed with an experimental welding kit: an LPG bottle, similar to a propane tank, in which he had mixed both components that make up oxy-acetylene welding gas: acetylene and oxygen. When combined, these two components burn hot enough to cut metal. They are separated for a reason. When the neighbor attacked a torch head straight onto the bottle and lit the welding tip…the explosion shattered windows blocks away.
And the answer is…#2.
Now onto this week’s Mystery Question. These are from various police blotter reports. As usual, three are true, one I made up. It is your task to figure out which one. 🙂
  1. Hotel employees called police regarding an unwanted guest. Officers found him in the elevator, nude. He said he thought it was a shower. Camera footage showed the man entering the elevator fully clothed, but he soon began disrobing.
  2.  A woman was displeased with the way her housekeeper put her towels away, so she called her local police and requested a deputy to come and talk to her.
  3. A farmer called police at midnight after his rooster backed a teenage boy into a corner in his henhouse. It turned out he’d been dared to sneak into the henhouse and steal a chicken. He hadn’t counted on the guard rooster.
  4. During a disturbance call, a man gave officers a false name and was arrested after he was found to have warrants for both names.

Okay Super Sleuths, which one did I make up? Leave your answer in the comments, and I’ll enter you in a drawing for a booklight!

Now for today’s song. It’s another Gaither song that we sing at church every so often, and I always love it. I hope you enjoy it.
