Why? ;)
However the mess had leaked onto the barmans new wooden floor.

That was very quick
I'd not heard of it and i took me two days to figure it out (and I was very tempted to google it)
Shak - your'e a nutter! ;)

My favorite of all time is
A man lives on the tenth floor of a building. Every day he takes the elevator to go down to the ground floor to go to work or to go shopping. When he returns he takes the elevator to the seventh floor and walks up the stairs to reach his apartment on the tenth floor. He hates walking so why does he do it?
p.s. heard it when i was 14. and took me a couple of days of bugging my unc to get the answer out.

A man wakes up in the dark and kills himself.... Why?
The trick with lateral thinking puzzles is to keep asking questions. Although, the person that posed the puzzle should only reply with a yes/no/irrelevant.

OK, I've not heard this one - I'll play along.
Q: Did the fact that he woke up in the dark immediately tell him that he was going to die anyway?

thinking he was going to die he kills himself!
that one is tricky!

Why is it better to have round manhole covers than square ones?
though it doesn't exactly belong to the lateral thinking genre

That one is easy, no lateral thinking involved, just logical.
A man wakes up in the dark and kills himself.... Why?
That one is tough.
Q: Was it an accident (like he stumbled on his gun that lies next to the bed) or did he kill himself on purpose?

A polar bear walked into a bar and said 'barkeep, I'll have a......................glass of water.' Barkeep says 'Sure thing, but why the large pause?' The polar bear said 'Oh, I was born with them.' ;)

"Ouch", he said
because the man is a midget and can only reach as high as the seventh floor buttong in the elevator.
Blobfisk, any clues?
A man wakes up in the dark and kills himself.... Why?- becaues he has a fear of the dark and take it any more, or is he the guy from "darkness falls"?

Answer 1: He saw Gigli earlier that day and it replayed in his dreams.
Answer 2: He was a yankees fan and realized he deserved it. Go sox!
1. The rope broke, the bell rang, the man died.
2. a detective walks onto a crime scene where a person is lying dead on a bed with a clear liqud on a pair of scissors near by. how'd she die.

"Clear liquid" or "water" nearby almost always implies ice that has melted......

A Newcastle United supporter walked into bar..
It was an iron bar?
A man wakes up in the dark and kills himself.... Why?
Well BlobFisk isn't telling so I had to go and google it:-
He was staying in the hospital where his wife was on life support. Waking up in the dark meant he knew that the power had failed and that his wife had therefore died.
Hmmmmmm...... not one you're going to guess without having to ask a whole load of questions!

3 students go to the t.v. shop to buy a second hand telly.
they have £10 pounds each so they get a nasty old t.v. for £30.
seconds after they leave the shop the manager realise's the telly should have been only £25 pounds, and sends the assistant after them with £5 pounds to pay back.
as hes chasing them down the street, the asssistant realise he could make some cash - the students dont know how much the telly should have been, so he pockets £2 pounds.
when he catches up with the students he gives them £1 pound back each.
now, the assitant has £2, and the students have paid £9 each (£10 - £1 back)
3 X 9 = 27
+2 = 29.
where is the other pound?
