He was killed in Asia *or someother country in the east, and flown to the U.S. to be buried.

Basically he was killed in a faster time zone, and buried in a slower time zone.

yeah, polarbird is right!

SCOREBOARD:
polarbird111= 1


heres the next one:

A man ran from his armed pursuers. After looking around furtively, he jumped for the prison wall, climbed to its top, and jumped down on the other side. Made it! Then he set about looking for a police officer. Why, after the successful escape, did he he do that conf.gif conf.gif

Because he was a police officer and the armed people chasing him were convicts who had escaped from their cells?

EDIT: wait, better answer. He climbed into the jail to escape from the people chasing him, and needed a police man's help to get out.
