    A man was found murdered on Sunday morning. His wife immediately called the police. The police questioned the wife and staff and got these alibis: The Wife said she was sleeping. The Cook was cooking breakfast. The Gardener was picking vegetables. The Maid was getting the mail. The Butler was cleaning the closet. The police instantly arrested the murderer. Who did it and how did they know?

    It was the maid as the mail doesn't get delivered on Sunday. Although the wife's alibi was pretty rubbish too.

    NEW RIDDLE!!

    A man was shot to death while in his car. There were no powder marks on his clothing which indicated that the gunman was outside the car. However all the windows were up and the doors locked. After a close inspection was made the only bullet-holes discovered were on the man"s body. How was he murdered?

    I'd guess that he used his electronic window and got shot while it was down. The car then either automatically wound it up or he fell on the controls and the windows wound themselves up.
