Guest Kathryn Foong Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Were they on a stranded boat (or a place where there was no food) and had to eat their left arms to survive? Mind you, I probably would have taken one of the legs to eat instead as there is more meat to eat. After the surgeon removed each of their arms and was about to do his own, someone rescued them so he didn't have to lose his arm but they had already agreed before that they would all lose their left arm so he carried out the agreement. ?

John Dolva Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 The discharged army surgeon only became crazy later due to the post traumatic stress following the explosion which necessitated the amputations. Later his medication and 'the voices in his head' led him to misinterpret the NRA propaganda he subscribed to and compelled him to fulfill what he saw as a commandment that all are entitled to keep arms. So he provided his own to the others to share. By the time the fourth received it, it was so decomposed that he, in disgust, chucked it in the fire. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Kathryn Foong Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 YAY!! I got it right ! (and didn't cheat). I just for some reason started to think of those people whose planed crashed on a mountain and they had to start eating each other (lucky for them they had "dead" people who they could eat and not have to saw off their arms/legs). Right...to the next puzzle.. Link to post Share on other sites

I would've never guessed this in a million years!!!!!! Glad I wasn't eating when I read this--yuk!!! (Note to self--no Simkin puzzles till after lunch or dinner!)
