Brain Teasers
Lazy Sam the Journalist Part 2
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
Sam, a journalist, heard that in Texas an aggravated young male charged at a clown in the middle of a show. So Sam, being lazy, wrote an article on a rowdy teen disrupting a circus and causing injuries to a clown. The next day Sam was fired for making up a false article. However, his source was credible. This being the case, why was Sam fired?
Hint

These lazy sam ones aren't really situation puzzles. If you look in the description, a situation puzzle is one that doesn't give all the information needed to solve and is meant to be played in a group setting with questions being asked of the person telling it. All the lazy sam teasers can be solved as is, they're just plays on words where you have to think of what else could a phrase mean. I'm not really sure what category they should go in, maybe language, mystery or other.
But, having said that, it is a great teaser. Good job

wow i like the easy ones
AWESOME TEASER. I was just reading somthing the other day i think it was a riddle sctually saying what rodeo clowns did. They help make sure that the rodeo riders dont get hurt and distract the bull so its also VERY truthful. WONDERFUL SITUATION!!! Going staight to my faves!!!
I thought elephant at the circus, but the rodeo was a better answer!
I think that these Lazy Sams have at least some degree of interesting twists about the answer rather than some of the random drivel that so called situation teasers often have. Rather easy though IMHO.
I thought the boss was just really mean
