I would have thought they saw a funeral procession. And a flag at half mast also means a time of crisis and a time of war...
The could have seen a police poster asking for information on a crime, specifically murder, or the could have seen a coroners van, or a funeral hearse. There are quite a few possible answers to this.
thats pretty good - and i got it right!!!!!
there could be like 1874051857 possibilities I thought they say a casket (funeral procession)
I agree with zeepuzzlemaster. theres ALOT of possibillities for this one! It was still good though!
ok, i got this one straight away... waaaaaay too easy
I don't know...
I mean, when a bunch of my friends are all bummed out over something
(and you can just see it on their faces),
I always ask "Who died?", even when I know that nobody died...
It's like.. "Who died?" = "What's wrong?"

It was an alright teaser.

waay tooo many possibilities. can't say i actually enjoyed the teaser but ok.
as far as i know its half mast on land too. i hear it refered to that way all the time and i live nowhere near the sea.
Well...who did die?
Guess I learned something new in this brain teaser.
Got it immediately! 3 boys in my school died this year (tragic, I know) so I've seen the flag at half-mast several times this year, so I knew this one right off the bat!
