couldn't he have just died. this teaser sucks. there are unlimited hypothetical situations that could cause someone to be unable to go somewhere anymore
serpios, you need to lighten up. Good one by the way.
I loved it! The best one I've read all day! (The ONLY one I've read all daY!) Keep em up sissy, you got potential.
I thought he was a lifeguard, and he got assigned to a different beach.
"couldn't he have just died."
Yes, but I don't think he really wanted to....
"this teaser sucks."
Thank you for your opinion. But I actually like this teaser better than my other two. Please, go say they suck, they really do.
"there are unlimited hypothetical situations that could cause someone to be unable to go somewhere anymore"
I wouldn't say "Unlimited" but, yes, there are many. I just chose this one
"or he got life in prison "
Ooo, I didn't think of that one
Yes, but I don't think he really wanted to....

Ooo, I didn't think of that one
I thought he was a resident there and moved to somewhere else.
Good one! My guess was that the beach simply closed after the season. Since you said he came everday after the beach "opened" for the year, I just assumed that it would have to close a some point. It made since to me that he would stop coming when it closed.
i thought he died
In other words, this answer is right because it's the answer you chose?
Yeah its her teaser if you wrote it a different way then yes your answer would be right. I liked the teaser. It was a good one
His legs were bitten off by a shark perhaps?
"Since you said he came everday after the beach "opened" for the year, I just assumed that it would have to close a some point."
Yeah, the beaches here close in winter
Yeah, the beaches here close in winter
There's many other answers:
He moved away
He died
It was in a dream
He was put in prison
He moved away
He died
It was in a dream
He was put in prison
"He moved away"
But that wouldn't affect his vacation.
"He died"
Where's the fun in that?
"It was in a dream"
Oh, I didn't think of that...
"He was put in prison"
Also didn't think of that.

It doesn't matter that there are many other answers. What matters is that you couldn't harness enough brain power to answer the complex brain puzzle that sissy put out, and you're trying to make yourself look smart by proving sissy wrong.
Or you just aren't on the same medications as me.... (kidding)
"In other words, this answer is right because it's the answer you chose?"
Pretty much.

Way way WAY too easy.
"what? there are so many possible solutions... i imediately got that he died or was given life in prison or was hospatalized for life or something like that!!!"
Yep. But if I made him die, or put him in the hospital, this teaser would be even more boring than it is now!
"Way way WAY too easy."
Ok. But don't you just feel smarter because you could so easily figure out this teaser?
