Post riddles. If you get one right, the post your own.
This one's kinda old, but It's an easy one to start with:
A plane full of Americans crashes in Mexico. Where do they bury the survivors?

You don't bury the survivors because they survived.
I can't think of any right now for some reason...so i guess static can post another.

A detective walks into a room and finds a dead man and 53 bicycles. What happened?
(If you're stumped, I've hidden some clues)
1) The man was shot to death. He did not kill himself.
2) Bicycles and bikes are not the same thing

Bicycles, in this case, are referring to the type of playing cards. A standard deck of cards is 52 cards. Him having 53 means he was cheating, which, according to someone, was punishable by death.
----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, here's an old standard.
A man approaches a field and knows he's about to die. How?

Because he's falling through the air and his parachute isn't opening.

Before I continue, has anyone ever played the game Mind Trap? It has a lot of stuff like this. Anyway, here's a staple riddle (that doesn't mean its about staples): What word becomes shorter when you add two letters to it. (Two answers)

The word "short." It becomes "shorter" when you add the two letters ER. I guess the same could be said about "small" too.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a little tough:
A man pushes his car in front of a hotel and realizes he's bankrupt. Why?

I dunno the answer but I will say this. The items have different meanings than interpreted. But I guess that's usually how riddles go...

Mint = Where they print money. Plate = What they use to print. Shell = What a security guard fired as the man was robbing the mint and getting away with a valuable plate.

He was trying to steal a printing plate that they use to print money so he could counterfeit it, and a guard shot him. You're up, Elfie.
