OK, I couldn't solve any of the others... but I think I've got one.  

I drive my wife to work every morning. If we leave after 8:30 we don't get to her work until almost 9. But if we leave before 8:30 we get there by 8:45. Why?

Joe.
No, he's not back for real, just popping his head in to say "hello" while on break from classes.

 Ok this one might be a little easy but, hey, here it goes anyway

  Jim is found dead in his bed by his wife. She calls the police and after the police conduct their investigation, they say the scissors were the weapon used, but he wasn't stabbed or cut. How did he die?

Yeah... but more specifically all the stupid road work their doing on the quickest route to her work which shuts the road down to ONE LANE   and backs up traffic like hell... but they only start the construction around 8:30.

... see I told ya I'm not good at these.

I'm getting sick of this...  

The Turkish Bath Mystery

John was killed by a stab from an ice dagger that Jack brought to the Baths in his thermos. When Jack had finished, he threw the dagger into the hot coals, melting them and destroying all evidence.


New one. I'll make it real hard.  

Death on the Train

A man stepped out of a speeding train to his death. He had been on his own in the compartment, and all that was found was a very large handkerchief. If he had made the journet by any means other than train, he would almost certainly not have decided to commit suicide. Why did he take his life?

I'm thinking along the lines of him mistaking the door for the bathroom in the middle of the night but I know that's not right

Damn, I thought this would be the tunnel + blind man one...

Okay, he was on his way back from suparlaser surgery where he got his eyesight back when the train went into a tunnel. Thinking he had gone blind again, he jumped out of the train

 He was asleep and the train had an emergency stop on a bridge, he woke up, thought it was his stop and fell to his death.

Sorry dude - well, you can read Jabu's answer in black up there, if you're that frustrated.

And I suppose there were no lights in the compartment itself?  

It's just a riddle. They're not supposed to make sense.

yeah, but they're supposed to use logic. And I don't see much logic in that.

Wrong. These do NOT use logic. That's why there's so hard.
