SOS!

Does anyone know a good lateral thinking puzzle? Something like: a man walks into a diner, orders turtle soup, takes one bite, pulls out a gun, and ends it all. Why? I need to host a session where people can only ask me yes-or-no questions until they crack the case...

I've got a deadline tomorrow. I'm chaperoning a huge group of kids on a field trip and they eat this stuff up, but my brain is completely fried...

Perhaps he was allergic to the turtle soup, and since he had no desire to spend his final moments gasping for air in agony, he chose to end things quickly—though, one has to wonder if that was actually the plan all along. If he ordered turtle soup, did he perhaps realize mid-bite that his body wouldn't tolerate it? One can almost see him noticing the symptoms and deciding there was no way out 🤷
.
Alternatively, could the soup have simply been so transcendentally delicious that life lost its luster immediately afterward? Still, if that were the case, wouldn't a man of such refined taste have finished the entire bowl—and perhaps ordered seconds—before opting for such a tragic exit? 🤔

🙂

None of that matters... just keep trying.

Is there a catch here?

What on earth was he thinking? 🤷

I feel compelled to point out that this exact topic has been discussed previously, featuring this very same narrative 🤦

I honestly don't get it, why?
