here is a bit of fun for those of you that may be sitting and watching the comp screen idle as i am

A man was found murdered one Sunday morning.

His wife immediately called the police.

The police questioned the wife and staff and was given these alibis:

The Wife said she was in bed reading a book.
The Cook claimed she cooking breakfast.
The Gardener claimed he was planting seeds.
The Maid claimed she was getting the mail.
The Butler claimed he polishing the silver.

The police instantly arrested the murdered. Who did it and how did they know?

ok that was an easy one, i have another

A man kills his wife. Many people watch him doing so.

Yet no one will ever be able to accuse him of murder. Why?

Dunno why...........I've only just got up (recovering from the hangover from hell.......that 14th JD`n`coke must have been off....)

The man who killed his wife was a hangman carrying out his official duty.

car accident ??

The maid actually confessed, what she said was 'I was getting the MALE.' The policeman just wrote down the wrong interpretation of what she said.

The man who killed his wife had just been given the ultimatum `it's me or that kit-car` - so it was `justifiable homicide`
