RIDDLE ONE: The Late Report

A man and his wife went on vacation. Two months later, the man called the police to report the location of a dead body near the place where he had been on holiday. The police thanked the man and then asked why it had taken him two months to report the body. What was the reason?

Clues/Hints:
1. The man was not involved in any way in the death of the person whose body he had reported.
2. The man had not noticed the body earlier, but did later.

ANSWER:
The man saw the body in the background on one of his holiday photographs. It was two months before the film was developed.


RIDDLE TWO: The Stranger in the Bar

Two men went out for a drink together in a bar. One of them looked up, saw a tall, dark stranger looking like death and drinking soda water, and pointed him out to his companion. Startled and uneasy, the two men left and went to another bar some miles away. Deciding to leave, they went to a third bar, which was empty except for a young couple. However within a few minutes, the cadaverous man appeared and, in a slow, sad voice, ordered a soda water. Almost out of his mind, one of the men went over to him and said, "Who are you and what do you want?" What did the man answer?

Clues/Hints:
1. Two two men were drinking beer, while the stranger was drinking soda water.
2. The two men hadn't noticed the stranger outside the bar, but there was a connection between them and the stranger.

ANSWER:
He said, "I am the taxi driver who has been driving you from bar to bar!"
