Was she at his work? Did he work that day? mailman on a sunday? Was his work cancelled/sent home for whatever reason that was on the news- ie worked at a school that was let out early, building that was on fire, etc? Was she his boss? Were they together? Was this a phone call? computer chat? person to person conversation? | ||

Was he calling his wife, who was at home, from the kitchen at his home? And she saw him through the doorway? And then he took a step back and said, "Now I'm at work."? Is he Peter Griffin? | ||

Was the news story something about him? About his job? About an event that day? Did it tell her: where he was? That he couldn't possibly be at his work? That no one could possibly be at his work? That if he were at work, he would not have answered his phone? Or he would have answered it differently? | ||

So, She sees the towers being destroyed on TV? She calls her husband, who works there? She asks if he's at work, and he lies and says yes? And she knows he's lying, because if he were telling the truth he'd probably be dead? | ||

And she knows he's lying, because if he were telling the truth he'd probably be dead? Yes to all I guess this is good enough for a ************* SPOILER ************** This is based off a well circulated hoax where the husband was at his mistresses house. The TV was off and so was his cell phone. And later soon after the 9/11 attacks he turned on the cell phone, he immediately got a call from his wife, who frantically asked where he was, and he replied "I'm at work" For a view of the hoax http://wintersteel.homestead.com/files/Images/9-11divorce.jpg | ||

Sorry for the quick spoil, but good idea for a puzzle. I'd never heard that one. | ||

Heh, you did all you need to. There's a couple mods hanging around, including me and Woubit, but I am unfortunately without access to a computer that allows the admin functions. I'll get to them on Sunday, if not before. | ||

You're right. Now I wish I hadn't said that. |
