Violent Wife?
Situation
Situation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.Situation
The dinner guests watched in horror as Susan broke both of her husband's arms with a swing of a baseball bat. Afterwards she got praise from everyone, including her husband.

What happened here?
Hint
The wife really did break her actual husband's arms.Answer
The husband had grabbed a faulty electrical appliance and was being electrocuted. Unable to touch him or the appliance without getting electrocuted herself, Susan got a baseball bat and hit her husband's arms, freeing them. She unfortunately broke them in the process, but saved her husband's life.The dinner guests were "in horror" because of the electrocution, not the swinging of the bat.

Isn't this a little.. .. .. violent?
What the heck? I got the answer that there was a pinata made up to be the husband, and she broke both of the arms off.
Tissue, your comment reminds me that I meant to add a hint that said something like "The wife REALLY did break her actual husband's arms." Shame on me for forgetting to add that. cccc, with all of the situation teasers we have about murder, I think this is pretty tame by comparison.
Not enough information to derive the answer? I suppose this one is to be done with someone else being able to answer yes and no questions? (I am slowly learning about all these different categories...) Mixee.
with what you described think how probable it would be to get that exact answer.
A robber came in and stole the mans guns and was actin tought. the wife came along and smacked him up with a bat. Everyone was happy.
Guns = Arms
Guns = Arms
Ok.... All I have to say is... this is neither fun nor clever. Whoever posted this must not have a sense of humour.
This is the most ridiculous teaser I have ever read and it is too violent to be even remotely funny!
This teaser's delightful.
Good one
insurance fraud
the guy wanted to be seriously injured so that he could sit around and do nothing and claim his insurance money, the wife and husband explained this to the guests, whereupon they stopped being shocked at what she had done, and instead were wishing they'd thought it up

Ummmmmmmm... So, in order to save her husbands life, she smacked him with a baseball bat? What if it was metal?
