Is this a real death?

[Demagog]

Is he deaf?

Does his occupation matter?

Does his age matter?

[icybraker]

One question at a time, man! 2 of your questions were going to be mine to ask later on!

[Essence]

No.

Yes.

No.

[icybraker]

You didn't answer my question

PMing possible answer.

[Demagog]

Does he play an instrument?

[Essence]

Sorry, Icy.  Your answer is:

Yes.

And your answer is correct.


Demagog: No.

[icybraker]

I won

He's a tightrope walker who walks blindfolded, and uses the loudspeaker that's playing the music (attached to the pole he's walking toward) to direct himself.  When the music stopped, he misstepped and fell to his death.

Next one:

A man asks the bartender for a glass of water.  The bartender pulls out a shotgun and points it at the man's head.  The man thanks him and orders a beer.


Why?

[icybraker]

Ah, I know this one. PMing answer!

[Essence]

Correct.

Too easy, then.  Here's a tougher one:

A man is shot to death by the police.  Next to his body are a plate, a mint, and a brown paper bag.


Why was he killed?

[icybraker]

Was the paper bag empty?
