Lateral Thinking Puzzles!

Penguina already answered the ones I knew. . .

 

 

 

Here's some (these are pretty hard):

 

 

 

1)A man pulled out a gun, pointed it at another man who was known to be totally law-abiding, and pulled the trigger. Click! The gun wasn't loaded. Everyone present, which included at least ten people, was surprised and outraged. Why was the intended victim blamed for the incident?

 

 

 

2)A man called the woman he loved, and she cursed at him and hung up angrily. Why was he happy?

 

 

 

3)Bob, a 15 year old boy with a record of violent crimes, approached a screen porch. Taking out a switchblade, he cut through every screen panel with large diagonal rips. A police officer drove by in a patrol car, saw what the boy was doing, and was pleased. Explain.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. How about... he asked him to scare him? Somehow I doubt it, but i'll guess.

 

 

 

2. HE wanted to make sure she was still upset over something? #-o

 

 

 

3. I have no clue, other than i'll bet it was community service, in some way... Maybe, it was his own porch? But that doesn't really make sense....

That's what it takes to be a hero, a little gem

of innocence inside of you that makes you want

to believe that there still exists a right and wrong,

that decency will somehow triumph in the end.
