who keeps dead people on a passenger train?
The same people who write these teasers. Actually Mr and Mrs Dead were in the front carriage at the time of the crash and although not killed, were severly injured, dying some time later in hospital. Hmm. Does that make 4 dead?
this one has been said many a time. very imaginative yet not.
Or the train crashed into a car, killing its two occupants. Or two pregnant women suffered miscarriages.
good one mate!
um y would u want dead people ona train lol good 1 lol
i agree with cnmne
I personally think the driver and conductor were murdered. So... they weren't killed during the crash, but still caused the crash... Or maybe I am just rambling :frog:
I got it. the hint gave it away for me
My first thought was,"Oh, no. The train hit a car." Thank goodness that was not the case.
Sometimes people request to be buried other than where they died. Either a train or plane carries them in a casket to their final destination.

I like it but I think it should be in "trick."
