A hoary old thing, this: the idea is that one of us sets a riddle of sorts, and then answers questions posed to them about the riddle. Answers to these can be either "yes," "no," or "irrelevant." It's entirely probable you've seen these before and know the answer anyway, but...
#1. A sailor arrives back in port after a long ocean voyage. His first action, before calling his family, blowing his nose, or anything, is to rush into town and seek out a restaurant. Once seated therein, he scans the menu impatiently and orders roast albatross. He takes but a single bite of this when it arrives, before running screaming into the street.
Why?

Is it because he saw his Mother walking down the sidewalk?

Is it because of the symbolism of the albatross? He runs?

It's bad luck to kill an albatros?
It was too hot and burnt his tongue?

roy - No It might help y'all to ask different kinds of questions to get more information about what's been going on with this story. The odds of one of you guessing it out of the blue, if you haven't already seen the thing, are astronomical.

He was gonna sneeze? He saw a woman for the first time in ages, and didn't know what it was? He remembered he didn't have any money? Something must have frightened the silly arse, and I aint got a scooby what it was.
