Was the man a mobster who had ordered an arm to be cut off someone and proof sent of mission accomplished?

WT Sharpe · 07-14-2011, 10:05 PM

Was the man who received the arm the tinsmith who fashioned a replacement arm for the woodsman whose ax was cursed by one of the wicked witches in The Wizard of Oz?

Long arm of the law?

Stitchawl · 07-15-2011, 09:05 AM

I've been pondering this all day... and am still no closer to a legitimate answer.

I can't figure out why someone would smile at receiving a human arm and then toss the entire mess in the garbage.

Okay, I will try it. But it is very lateral and it is only logical if it makes sense from a medical point of view.

The man in the house has a twin brother, this brother has bone cancer in the arm and needs an arm transplantation.
The man in the house went to the hospital a few days or so ago and the doctors took off his arm. The wound healed and now he's home again.
Now the brother is in a hospital, the doctors took off his sick arm and transplanted the arm of the man in the house.
The arm in the parcel is the brother's arm, it means that the operation did work out well.

Yes, I admit, it sounds abstruse, don't kill me. Hopefully it gives someone else an idea into the right direction.

You can always ask a question...

Nice try, but no cigar.

Remember that you can ask yes/no type questions.

As our man has only one arm left: is the arm arriving of the same side (e.g. he only has a right arm and a right arm arrives)?

No. In fact it's a left arm.

So the man has only a right arm and a left arm arrives.

Would he have smiled if a right arm had arrived?
Would he have thrawn a right arm into the bin?

Yes, yes and yes.

Billi · 07-15-2011, 05:39 PM

So it was tooootally useless what I've been asking!

Was there something else in the box?
Was there a message written on the arm?
Was there a joke written on the arm?
