Brain Teasers
Oh, My Stomach!
It was a sunny, calm day. Bill decided it was time for a change so he set out in search of a new dream home. His eyes settled on an attractive house. He was so encouraged that this would be the one, he only took a quick scan of the interior and decided to buy it. Nothing was wrong with the house. Being a person that really didn't rely on others, Bill faithfully packed his belongings into the moving truck. It was a windy day that day, still pleasant but not as quite as on the sunny day which he decided to purchase this beautiful house. After finishing packing his first load, Bill set out for his destination. When he arrived, he started moving in his stuff. There were a few lightweight boxes and some old wooden chairs. After moving in all the old chairs, he sat down on one of them. "It's a bit rocky today," he thought. Nonetheless, Bill rested. Not a long while later, he ran outside. He peered over the railing of his new deck and threw up! He stumbled back to the chair to rest. A little later, he ran out and threw up again and again. Why did this mysterious thing keep happening and why didn't it happen when Bill first set his sights on the house?
Answer
Bill's new house is a houseboat. He bought it on a calm day, so there was not much wind to affect the boat's motion. After exhausting himself on the windy day, Bill got sea sick and threw up over the railing into the water.Hide Answer Show Answer

nice one
Why didn't I think of that! Nice
I got the house boat part, but I thought when he bought it, the boat was in dry dock. Good teaser
I got it! I got it! Nice teaser.
Nice one! Although, I, too, thought he the boat was dry docked when he bought it.
Hmmm...I suppose it could have been a house boat. However it seems much more likely that Bill's new house was in fact located downwind from a chemical plant that was emitting noxious fumes.
ahem..DUMB...cough

the teaser was kinda dumb now that i think of it.. *wah* how come that libra0890 gave most people bad comments?? critic
No, that was a really great teaser. Do not mind libra, she hasn't submitted any teasers that passed, probably because she can't. No worries!

Haha I thought that he was in a rocking chair and the wind was blowing it so it moved..And he had extremely severe motion sickness..O_o
OK................
if you say so.. but i kinda like mean comments sometimes.. forces the person to change and adapt and learn new lessons in life.. sorry if i sound too philosophical
yay i remembered.. its almost my birthday.. no wonder i saw this cake thingie.. i didn't know what the heck it was.. and i was like "wha?"
Was the guy dumb or what?
Wow I finally got one. It was sorta easy.
i thought there was something like a waste dump and when the wind was blowing, it blew over to his house and made him throw up...that could work
Why I did not get that one, I do not know.
It's not bad, I must say. It's one of those brain teasers that you have to expand your imagination as well as your mind in order to find the answer.
I thought that it was well thought up.

Couldn't get that one But I was thinking of this: Bill bought the new house in purpose did he?
I also thought it was like this:
He got a stomache ache.
Pretty DUMB!

i think it was pretty good. It tricked me and i neva wouldve guessed da boat. very smart
I thought of several reason's but the houseboat got by me, very good. Clever.
OMG That seems like so simple, yet I never would have even thought of that!!! Great teaser!!!
Wouldn't this fit better under the "Trick" category?
Got it! good one.
i'm with deadeye: toxic fumes.
anyhow, why would anyone use a truck to move onto a house boat?

Easy for me, but I wonder if this wouldn't be better suited to the "Situation" category.

I just thought he came down with the flu
I thought because he quickly browsed the house he didn't c the bad mould which was making him sick it seemed more likely than the shyty boat story
This was sooooooo gross!!!
