I guess you have to know a little about the history of the Titanic to figure this out, but it was interesting.
Well, if you've seen the movie you could probably get it.
Even though you probably wouldn't know the answer to that if you hadn't heard that story, I still thought it was very interesting...Goin right to my faves! Good Job and Great Teaser! (To think that guy gave his life for a bottle of brandy)...
musical instruments????!!!
Good teaser. Made me think of the poor musicians who continued to play and try to keep the panic to a minimum.
Woah! is that really a true story!? haha...thats really interesting!
Cool story, no idea on the answer though.
i dont know u should added more details
Somebody went back onto a sinking ship just for a bottle of BRANDY? That is crazy. Good teaser though.
This one definitely need more details. There are so many reasons he could be dead....I guess it was ok though...kinda....
i figured that he had drowned just didnt think of the titanic for some odd reason!!!!
Uh-huh
Duh... this is a situation teaser people. You get details by asking questions. You're supposed to have one person know the answer and others ask yes/no questions. If you read the explanation of a situation teaser you might be able to figure that out.
BTW, i thought it was a good teaser and a very interesting story.

Great teaser! I thought he was a musician who was drunk from having too much brandy and somehow died or something. Fun and clever!
Wow, he was DUMB - risking his life for a bottle of alcohol! Great teaser!
