Riddle is wrong that is why... The riddle goes: A man was found dead in the desert, naked, and holding a straw. Why was he naked, why was the straw in his hand, and what was the straw for? Spoiler! --Click here to view--The man and his friends car broke down, but having a small hot air balloon inside they all got in it. They we're too heavy so they took off their clothes. That didn't help much so they drew straws to see who would jump off, and that man got the shortest straw A teacher once had this on a test, and we spent 2 weeks trying to figure it out in class for extra credit... only reason I remember it. Even modifying the answer to try and fit that riddle, which is based off this one no doubt, won't make sense. Probably why you can't find an answer anywhere, as even I tried when I saw this.
