A rather unremarkable series of events involving a golf game, a stop at a gas station and a poor sense of direction caused Stu to become sick. What happened? |

Since he is a man, was asking for directions usually the last available option when all other possibilities and miracles had been exhausted? |

Did he stop at the gas station of his own volition? under influence? because he lost his bearings? as an emergency? as a safety measure? road safety from weather condition? Did he know that he was stopping at a gas station? if yes, at THE gas station? Did he intend to visit someone at the gas station? check something? confirm/verify something? Did he lose direction in daylight? When it was dark? Did he play real golf game? or a computer game? Did some other person/people play golf game with him? If yes, did they lose direction too? Did something significant happen to cause loss of direction? |

A fruit drink? Iced water? Red Bull? Because of his poor sense of direction, does he go somewhere he shouldn't have gone? Is it relevant that he has golf balls in his car? golf clubs? Did anything relevant happen during the golf game? Was it sunny during the game as well? Was there ever a change in the weather? |

Oh. So would this actually happen in real life? Is there a pun involved? Noish to water...did he drink one of those oxygenated water drinks? Is this drink a common one? The something relevant that happened during the golf game: did it happen to him? to one of the other players? to the surroundings? to his car? Did he pack up properly before heading to his car? After buying his mystery drink, he drives around for a while, lost, correct? Does he head back to the gas station at any point? Does he find himself back at the golf course? |

This one looks tough, I'll jump in and join the chaos... Well the type of drink that you are describing here goes by several names that I can think of: slushee? slurpee? misty? frostee? something else? And the "tee" reference, does it relate to any of the following with regards to the puzzle: tee shirt? tee-tee? iced tea (tee)? the fact that the word "tee" and the letter combination "ty" can rhyme? |

Was Stu... sick? ill? unwell? ailing? infected? unhealthy? poorly? queasy? run down? Maybe "tee" alludes to the letter "t'? |

Well the type of drink that you are describing here goes by several names that I can think of: slushee? slurpee? misty? frostee? something else?I'll go ahead annd say...it's an ICEE. It was only a matter of time before someone threw that name out there anyway. And the "tee" reference, does it relate to any of the following with regards to the puzzle: tee shirt? no tee-tee? no iced tea (tee)?no the fact that the word "tee" and the letter combination "ty" can rhyme?no Was Stu... sick? yesish ill? no unwell? no ailing? no infected? no unhealthy? no poorly? no queasy? no run down? no Maybe "tee" alludes to the letter "t'?yes!

Icee... "I see"? Is the word "stick" involved? Hmm...Maybe if we take a "tee off" the stick...he gets "sick"? Haha Is it relevant that his name is Stu? |

In golf you tee off, so t off Stu becomes Su. correct? Add a drink an Icee or I C and Su becomes Suic or Sicu correct? Now now to find how a U becomes a K, ....U turn maybee? Or is this all rubbish? |

Because he got lost, he drove around for many km? (although I don't know how to get rid of that m..let's just ignore it! ) Is a key involved? |

Or maybe he ended up "stuck"? With a "t off", an "ic" in him, and a "u" turned away? |

Did he drive all the way to Kay County?YES! ***********SPOILER****************** Stu teed off at his golf game making him Su. He then drank an ICEE, making him Sicu. The he got lost and had to make a U-turn into Kay (County)...so now Stu has become Sick! Good job everyone with special kudos to Jumpingjack and Martinfg |
