We all have certain "rules" for making a good riddle, but is there any way to *bend* one for the sake of humor?
I'm trying to make one of those "Several dinner guests, Murder takes place, Who did it" riddles, with a rich man intentionally inviting guests who may kill eachother, even going as far as leaving Rat Poison in plain sight. Of the guests only 3 are important: a mob boss, an FBI Informant and a Blonde.Basically, the blonde ends up killing all the guests, including herself, because she thought the Rat Poison would only affect the Informant. Obviously the mob boss pays her to "kill the rat", but I can't do it without making it overly long. I know patience is short on these boards and riddles are supposed to be concise.
Do I have anything here or am I just trying to make chicken salad out of chicken sh**?
