oh I know wait...we had this happen here when I was a kid.
guy was found dead in a field cold the nite before but not enough he could have froze, a package lay close by, (a paper bag) inside the paper bag a hammer.
He slipped on a patch of ice and the new hammer he bought flew up in the air and came down and hit him in the head.
or we had a hammer head killer on the loose. (really happened)

Gee Gee is right. The man jumped out of a plane and the parachute didn't open. So, he is dead in a field and the unopened package is a parachute.

there was a wild party on the boat and no one knew how to swim, they all got drunk and fell over board and drown

okay...after they all got drunk they went for a swim and all put on their swimsuits and dove off the side. They discovered belatedly that they have forgotten to put a ladder down the side of the yacht and were unable to climb back in, so they drowned.

A man walks into a bar and asks for a drink. The bartender pulls out a gun and points it at him. The man says, "Thank you," and walks out.
Ok Merme.....use that brain power for this one!! I know you can get this one!! You need that crazy sort of thinking to get it!! I am going for my walk, so I will check to see how you do in about an hour...after I get home.
actually I liked the hammer killing story better too. Maybe these people who come up with this stuff have no imagination

That's the only sort of gun I can think of that wouldn't make me run screaming down the street in panic if someone pointed it at me ! Well, I wouldn't be afraid of a glue gun, either, but that has nothing to do with drinking...
Hot Tomalee! You guys surely know how to stump a girl. Merme

Oh, that's brilliant, Merme! The hiccup one was HARD!
I can't take credit for the parachute answer, cause I think someone posted that one already. That's why I said "It's NOT a parachute, right?" because I was thinking it must be a different riddle...
Here's one: A man walks into a his bathroom and shoots himself right between the eyes using a real gun with real bullets. He walks out alive, with no blood anywhere. And no, he didn't miss and he wasn't Superman or any other caped crusader. How did he do this?

Yippee-Ki-ay!!! Yippee-Ki-ay!! Super! I finally got one right!!! The man had the hiccups, the man had the hiccups! (I'm dancing now!)
Jeepers, it is TOUGH being on a forum with so many big brained, clever women. Good for me though because it's making me work that cerebral something for a change.

Ok, I had to make a second cup of coffee for this one.
The man has narcolepsy, so he falls asleep in the middle of whatever he is doing? Or how about The man is deaf/mute and was using one of those special typing phones?
Oh help, save me someone! I've fallen inside my head and I can't get up.

Okay, this is stupid, but is he checking his answering machine? I don't know what that has to do with him going to sleep, though. What about, is he setting a wake-up call? Can you do that without speaking?

Ok, here I am. It's morning two, thus my third cup of coffee on this puzzle. The whole world has probably changed overnight...politically, socially, economically....and I'm still stumped on this puzzle!
So, did he phone Dial-A-Prayer? for a good-night prayer?
Did the person on the other end of the phone say something like "Sorry, we don't deliver pizza to prison cells!" so he gave up and went back to sleep?
He didn't speak because he'd gotten a wrong number?
Oh, where's that cup o'mine, gotta wake up better!

Okay, clearly it's time for hints! Was the call made on a regular telephone? Or perhaps it was made on a laptop computer? Did he call a psychic?

It was a regular telephone...and heres a monkey wrench to throw in the works...he could hear it when it rang.

The man is on vacation in Vegas and his friends/parents are staying in the hotel room next door, and the pre-arranged signal to check in when they get back late at night is to call next door,let it ring once and hang up??? So he's just checking in????
posted
Or maybe his dog his dog ate his cell-phone, and they're waiting for it to pass, and he wanted to check its progress?
He's a blind man who thinks his wife is running around on him, so he calls HER cell-phone to check up on her, and when he hears it ring, he knows she's at home, so he goes to sleep?
This one is driving me CRAZY!!

He lives in an apartment building with paper-thin walls and his neigbour's bed is on the other side of the wall to his bed. He hears his neighbour snoring so phones - his neighbour stops snoring when waking up to answer the phone, allowing the first man to fall asleep?
