Since the Laura Bow mystery games are quite dark and sometimes even scary, I have decided to add a bit of my own humor to them! If you have any comments about anything you see, feel free to post them on the Sierra Planet Forums.

Usually, when you bump into a dead body, your natural reaction is something like: "Aaaarrrrrrggggghhhh!!!!!" How do you think Laura Bow reacts when she sees dead body? Maybe she says something REALLY funny?

Being detective does not mean being grim and thoughtful all the time. There are sometimes hilarious moments as well ...
A COMMUNICATION FAILURE:
Prosecutor: "Miss Bow, please tell the court exactly what happened on the night of the crime."
Laura: "Well, I sat in my office, when suddenly the cellular phone rang."
Prosecutor: "And ...?"
Laura: "I immediately knew that something very suspicious was afoot."
Prosecutor: "Why?"
Laura: "Because I don't have a cellular phone!!"
QUESTIONING A SUSPECT:
Prosecutor: "What happened when you arrived at the scene of the crime?"
Laura: "The butler let me in. He said: 'There is someone in the closet'. So I entered the closet and questioned the suspect. It was the most difficult cross-examination I've ever done. I questioned him for hours, question after question".
Prosecutor: "Did he confess?"
Laura: "No. In fact, he didn't answer any of my questions."
Prosecutor: "Why?"
Laura: "Because he was the corpse!"
AUTOPSY REPORT:
Prosecutor: "What did the coroner say?"
Laura: "He said the body had a wound in the forehead, a bullet hole in the heart, and a knife stabbed in the back."
Prosecutor: "Who do you think POISONED him?"
Laura: "No one ... he was STRANGLED!"
JUSTICE FOR ALL:
John Bow: "Laura, how did the trial go?"
Laura: "Fine, daddy, but I think the judge was cross-eyed."
John Bow: "Why?"
Laura: "Because he gave the D.A. life-time prison."
