MYSTERY
Pirate Pete had been captured by a Spanish general and sentenced to
death by his 50-man firing squad.
Pete cringed, as he knew their reputation for being the worst firing squad in the Spanish military. They were such bad shots that they would often all miss their targets and simply maim their victims, leaving them to bleed to death, as the general's tradition was to only allow one shot per man to save on ammunition. The thought of a slow painful death made Pete beg for mercy. "Very well, I have some compassion. You may choose where the men stand when they shoot you and I will add 50 extra men to the squad to ensure someone will at least hit you. Perhaps if they stand closer they will kill you quicker, if you're lucky," snickered the general. "Oh, and just so you don't get any funny ideas, they can't stand more than 20 ft away, they must be facing you, and you must remain tied to the post in the middle of the yard. And to show I'm not totally heartless, if you aren't dead by sundown I'll release you so you can die peacefully outside the compound. I must go now but will return tomorrow and see to it that you are buried in a nice spot, though with 100 men, I doubt there will be much left of you to bury." After giving his instructions the general left. Upon his return the next day, he found that Pete had been set free alive and well. "How could this be?" demanded the general. "It was where Pete had us stand," explained the captain of the squad. Where did Pete tell them to stand? LOOK FOR THE ANSWER NEXT MONTH
FROM LAST MONTH
Mr. Lal was having an early walk. He had just crossed a bridge when
he saw a crowd of people. Rushing to them, he found that they were
crowding around a dead woman. Lal was a famous detective. He took the
case and started his investigation. The woman seemed to have come for
an early walk, too. Seeing her handbag lying nearby, Lal ruffled
through it and found what he wanted - her identity card. Her name was
Lakshmi, and her house was about a ten minute drive away. Her number
was also written on her card. Lal phoned the given number.
"Is this Lakshmi's residence?" "Yes. And I am her husband. What do you want?" "Sir, your wife is dead." "What! No way!" "Sir, come here quickly." About ten minutes later, a car pulled up. The husband got down, and on seeing the woman, rushed to her and started crying. Lal was about to console him when something flashed in his mind. He quickly had the husband arrested. Can you tell why? Mr. Lal never mentioned where the body was. But the husband came right to the location.
