i thought it was that the guy on the ground was drinkin out of a shot glass?!?!!!!!
I thought it was pretty obvious, but the teaser itself was okay so I gave it half a star.
Golly, it sounded to me that this guy below was in a basket and took a shot of alcohol
I admitt it, i didnt' get it at all until i peacked at the answer! it stumped me i was thinking way to hard!
hey not the best!!!!!!!! BUT strange I thought It was a gun and it shot it in his basket but i reread and got it i was wrong again
Um....ok. However, what does the man in the hot air balloon owning the basketball court have anything to do with the answer?
The teaser person below the man shot through his own basket.

I had the air balloon with a clear bottom (like a glass bottom boat) and the person below shot a picture. I know, too lame! Cute teaser.
That wasn't the Answer I was expecting!!!!!!!
Hm..Good, I guess, but I didn't like it.
i thought that the person with that shot, shot it through his own basket. the wording, and the fact that HIS is capitalized through me off
I agree with the above. You should more clearly site your pronouns next time.
good one, very clever even tho i didnt get it
Sorry Chief, this onebelongs in the "Situation" category, not the "Trick" category. There is nothing in the story that makes any connection to basketball. 'Tain't fair!
Hmmmm....bizarre!
i thought he shot the basket as in an arrow! weird, but ok.
Very cute! Good one!
ya got me on that 'un
interesting. i usually have to think about the trick teasers for a while, but this one just jumped out at me! Great one, though!
that was dumb
no offence
umm...yeah i just dont think that was any good
Good, the hot air balloon messed me up. It was his basket cuz he owned it,,HAHA
i liked that one
Actually, someone in my own family pulled this on many of our friends, on a particular day. But, this is a totally Awesome teaser to pull on anyone, though. Keep those gears a rolling, the tricks are getting better.
clever. my theory was a photographer.
NOW i see why you capitalized HIS
Oh. I thought that there was just a small hole in the hot air balloon's basket (not the balloon part) and yeah... :p
