1.28. A man finishes getting dressed, lies down and
dies. (CH original?)

1.28 answer: There is a poisonous spider in the toe of his shoe. The
last things he puts on are his shoes. He gets bitten, feels ill, lies down
on his bed, and then dies of the poison. (It’s a particularly poisonous
spider, like the Australian Funnel-Web, whose bite can kill an adult human
in 5 minutes, or the brown recluse, which I gather is also pretty
deadly.)
