1. A woman bought new shoes, and shortly afterwards died from a knife-wound. Why?

2. A man woke up in the middle of the night and turned off the light. Ten people died as result. Why?

3.  A woman was on an elevator. When it stopped, and the lights went out, she began to cry, knowing that her husband was dead. How did she know?

4. A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?

5. Why wasn't Bertha put in jail after killing dozens of people?

If you get it right and post it I'll give you gold. If you get it wrong there'll be some ruckuss in your house xD

2. He slept in a lighthouse.

4. He said "you will sentence me to six years."

Two pounds of gold for SensFan33.

5) Bertha was a cyclone/hurricane

3) She was in a hospital, and he was on a life support machine

Yep, good job!

I got #3, but that was it.  So what's the answer for #1 since no one got it?

1) She bought stiletto heels XD

#1 The heel made her 2 inchs taller which threw off the performers aim.

Sorry forgot to include she was an assistant to a circus-performer and add in what i wrote up top.
