1.71. A man is driving his car. He turns on the radio,
listens for five minutes, turns around, goes home, and shoots his wife.
(This is different from #1.70.) (From How Come?)

1.71 answer: The radio program is one of the
call-up-somebody-and-ask-them-a-question contest shows; the announcer gives
the phone number of the man’s bedroom phone as the number he’s calling, and
a male voice answers. It’s been suggested that such shows don’t usually
give the phone number being called; so instead the wife’s name could be
given as who’s being called, and there could be appropriate background
sounds when the other man answers the phone.
