Ohhhhhkay...
Well, duh!!! Talk about obvious! why doesn't the guy in the water grab his foot and pull him in? (you know- Come on in! The water's fine)
because it is a riddle and not real
that was pretty cool
cute
Yeah, I saw your ad on Car Crash too. When I read this, I thought of the anwer, then thought, "no thats too easy". guess I was wrong...
Laura why are you always mean when u make a comment??? I just became a memeber and so far i saw 2 comments by tou that were mean! It was a really good teaser but I didn't get it!l lol
*you*
i liked the way you made the guy drowning, but the riddle was 2 easy, i mean, obviously they are in water, and hes shoving his head under! i figured it out in .5 seconds! Make it a little harder, BTW how do u get points?
Nice!!!!
Hey this was pretty good i don't read a lot of teasers anymore but i like this one!
if he had his foot in the other's head, how will he put it up considering they are both in the water?
I only got this because it's an old joke. How do you keep a man from drowning? Take your foot off his head.
Great job turning it into a teaser thought!

The answer was the first thing that came to my head, but I thought it was so obvious it couldn't be right. Just goes to show that people like me tend to overcomplicate things.
Too easy.
