Brain Teasers
Choose Your Disaster
Trick
Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.Trick
A group of four prisoners were held captive by the enemy and all of them were to be shot, one each day through the week. As natural disasters were common in this specific part of the world, the group of prisoners decided to make up a plan of distracting the guards. Before each prisoner would be shot, he would shout out a natural disaster, which would cause chaos and distract everyone to give enough time for that prisoner to escape. As three days passed the first three prisoners escaped by shouting out their chosen natural disasters and running away, however the final prisoner shouted out a disaster and was shot dead on the spot.
What was the natural disaster he shouted?

I thought jokes were not accepted here.
Good one, I agree that it's funnier in 'joke form', but good teaser anyways! I saw a skit put on by little cub scouts were one of things the other prisoners shouted was "Hey look! Cheerleaders!" Talk about a natural disaster...
That's cute!!!
I agree, cute teaser.
Sorry,but that one is older than Abe Lincoln

classic spin on a classic joke... excellent job turning it into a teaser
For those who don't get it:
First prisoner facing a firing squad yells, "Tornado!" Everyone scatters and he gets away.
Second one yells, "Earthquake!" Everyone scatters and he gets away.
Third one yells, "Avalanche!" Everyone scatters and he gets away.
The fourth one yells, "Fire!" and the firing squad shoots him.

In Texas the joke goes like this. A Longhorn, a Baylor Bear, and an Aggie are about to be executed...
I love aggie jokes. Sic'Em Bears!!

acually its a joke
yes, AnimeAngel, but it's a good joke! it's good enough to be repeated
I heard this a couple of times but it never grew on me
I can see ALMOST everybody's point, but I still think it is funny.
Heard it before but great!
I did not get that until I read the comments.
It is very funny, now I get it
It is very funny, now I get it
I've heard this one as a skit long before I saw it here!
Plus the answer isn't clear and "fire" isn't really a natural disaster.
I get it though!

coinjar, in hot countries, fire most certainly is a natural disaster. Very common during the summer here in Australia.
Loved it!!
I laughed. thank you.
This one still makes me laugh.
Oh my gosh, I can't believe some did not get it. It was the easiest one I have ever solved. So obvious. Sorry! At least it was very obvious to me. Easy peasy!
This teaser is written poorly. But a good joke anyways.
Older than me, and I'm no spring chicken.
I have no objection to easy ones being fun, which this certainly was!
No offense, but not many people here understand the idea of "trick" teasers. This is more of a joke or a riddle. A trick looks complicated, but has a simple solution. (Shrug.)
Or sometimes, it looks simple, yet the obvious answer is incorrect for a tricky reason. (See my trick teasers.)
The main thing I don't like about this one, though, is that the wording is illogical. The first sentence essentially says that all four prisoners are shout on Day 1, then again on Day 2, etc.
Also it first sounds like all of the present prisoners shout the name of the disaster; later, it sounds like it's only the one who is to be shot that does the shouting.

Nice teaser.
I again thought it was funny. I do not understand all the "nit pickers." What is the difference in wording and anything else they are picking apart? It is just plain funny and fun. Relax guys and gals and enjoy!
I'm with you, Babe! This is a good one. I first heard this joke a long time ago. But it's still a good one. Thanks for posting!
Not sure I have ever heard it before. Though I was able to get it straight away, it was still a great one.
That's one of my favorite blonde jokes! Wicked easy, but still a lot of fun.
Sorry, another one for the juniors, me thinks?
Mildy funny joke presented in teaser form. You see it coming a mile away, but it entertained me.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got this one very quickly.
A very old joke!
