Two men were on the run from the police, who tracked them to the edge of a seaside cliff. The police found two sets of tracks leading to the cliff edge and none leading back. The shoe sizes of the men were different and it was clear that the foot-prints had been stepped into once. So the police deduced that the men had leapted into the sea.
But they were wrong.
What had happened?

 Hang gliders or para gliders? They climbed down to a waiting boat?

One guy walked from the road to the cliff carrying the second set of shoes, changed and walked carefully backward in the other set of shoes away from the cliff, then they both continued along the road where they didn't leave any prints.

WhiteTiger almost got it.
One man carried the other to the cliff edge. The other man then carried the first backwards, away from the cliff edge.
Another: -
A man was found dead on a small island in the middle of a lake. All the police could find was a little scratch on his ceek. No one else had been on the island all day.
How did the man die?;
The man ws the world's champion fisherman, fishing on a little island in a lake. his deadly rival, the world's second best fisherman, was on the shore, seething with envy. He poisoned the hook at the end of his line and, with a mighty and accurate cast, scratched his rival on the cheek with the deadly poison. he then reeled in his line, leaving his rival dead with only a little scratch on his cheek.
I didn't get that one either!

Bob wrote a story. He died. Sharon read the story. Her husband died. The story was never read again.
Why not?

The story was an S.O.S. in the sand. Sharon's husband was a pilot. Sharon read the story from the air. They crash landed on the beach, killing Bob & her husband & left Sharon blind.
Or, Bob was Sharon's husband who wrote the story in the air & after Sharon read it, the plane crashed, killing her husband.

Bob was a tattoo artist. He put a love poem for Sharon on her hubby's butt... only she ever saw it, then he died and the story is buried with him. Hubby never got to read it cause it was on his butt.

Almost, Bob wrote a murder mystery called Foolproof. He was right; he murder plot was 100% foolproof. he submitted it to Sharon, his editor. Sharon was astounded; it was brilliant. She would get rid of her husband, and no one would suspect a thing. There was just one hitch; Bob would know that she had done it. She would have to dispose of Bob. Sharon killed Bob on the foolproof manner outlined in his story. She then killed her husband. Of course, thens he had to dispose of the manuscript - as good as the story was, she could hardly publish the method of her crimes.
In the film "The sound of music", there is a very obvious blunder not noticed by the director. It has to do with fruit.
Can you figure out what it is?

No one got that?! Cool.
In the movie The sound of Music, there appears a box of fruit marked "from Israel." The nation did not exist at the time of the Second World War, during which the movie is set.
A man came home one day and gave his wife a live, pedigreed terrier as a pet. She was delighted and kept it in her room, the only room she has. the next week he gave his wife a present of a beautiful live Siamese kitten. She was pleased and kept it in her room, the only room she has. The next week he gave his wife a present of a live singing canary. She took the bird and kept it in her room, the only room she has. The dog never chased the cat and the cat never chased the bird
Why not?
