Should be a trick
seen many tricks like this.they are just TOO EASY!

Well, to be picky, it is correct to say that a living person can be buried anywhere. But of course, only after death. So a person living in Texas can definitely be buried in Tennessee – when he/she dies. The answer is YES.
Well I bury the living. At least only Texans.
Just kidding, I hope I didn't offend anyone.

don't listen to them, Mr. G. It made me laugh. Good job!!




I don't get it. But ok.
Of course you can bury a man living in Texas in Tennesse...you might want to just hope no one finds out about it otherwise you might get in trouble for ultimately murderering the poor guy...
now if your question had asked "would you bury a man living in tennessee" the answer would, of course, be "only if i was feeling particularly sadistic"

You may not bury living people... but my back yard is all full so I guess Ill stop.

You could still bury someone living... or is that illegal? People do illegal things all the time. That's like asking can a man from Texas shoot a man in Tennesse? Yeah, but he'd probably get arrested. anyway, i thought it was a great teaser. Kudos!

YOU CAN BURY ALIVE IF YOU WNT TO!!! BUT IT WILL CAUSE YOUR BURY!!!!




I think he meant can you legally bury a live Texas man in Tennessee, without him being dead.
So the answer would be no, because it is illegal to bury a man alive no matter what state or country.
He just asked if you you could bury him in Tenessee to make you forget the fact that he is alive and you can not legally bury a living person alive.
Anyway, cool teaser, it was great!

I thought it was easy but the answer is yes if the person say they want to be buired in tennessee befor they die then they will. so the correct answer is YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Easy.Fun.Tricky.
funny, easy. thanks.


Funny

Careful Mellow, if you read the other comments you may see that your teaser is already well known. I say may, because I am not a mind reader and you could post anything, it just sounds as though you are hinting at the "you don't bury survivors" one.

HA HA!!!!!!

haha very clever.
He could wish to be buried in Tennessee though...
Why would it matter where one is buried? the question makes no sense whatsoever!

Cliche.
an oldie but a goodie
i liked it!!!!!!! i was kinda oblivious though i should have known that!!!


I've seen one just like this. Something about a plane and its survivors.... but you don't see the trick right away, it can stump you. Good one though!


Oh, are like not aloud to bury people alive? Whoops.
haha good one took me a while.

It's funny

I figured out the answer really easily, but then I realized that it was a trick question and said that people can be barried alive.
Good teaser, but the comments are hilarious! Thank you Commenters!

wow thats one weird teaser but it was a good one
Easy!
A living man can still be buried. For example, people bury their siblings in sand at beaches for fun. Great teaser though!
