BRB -- any clues on that fourth suit riddle??   :-)

Think of other people in the science field who might wear a full body suit and would die if there was a hole it.
Well, this week was supposed to be a return to normalcy, but that's clearly not allowed.  Since you feel there is no need for this week's FPG to continue, I feel there is no need to continue as an FPG host or a G-R.net member.  Since most people are so desperate to push me out of here, why delay it?  I would have preferred that everybody publicly admitted it rather than string me along for the last two days, but it is what it is.  I am hereby resigning as FPG host and moderator, effective immediately.  whammy007 is the new permanent host.  No R-rated rant or airing of grievances from me.  Just a polite "goodbye for good".

Was it:

I)  A bee suit -  a hole caused him to be stung, and he had an allergic reaction to the bee sting.

II) An NBC suit (Nuclear, biological, chemical) -- this is very similar to a hazmat suit, though...  (and perhaps it IS a hazmat suit?)

I was thinking along the lines of a contamination suit, like if a doctor was studying someone with an infectious disease, that had a hole in it and the doctor caught the disease, but I like your idea too - it's something I wouldn't have thought of.

I lumped together the suits one would wear for radiation and hazardous substances.  I said hazmat suit when obviously the proper term that I couldn't think of was NBC suit.

This is why I said "at least four correct answers" at the beginning:  I did not think of a beekeeper's suit.  It is entirely possible that a bunch of bees could get into the hole, sting the man, give him an allergic reaction, and kill him.

There's still an answer of mine that nobody has said yet.  Think of a scientist in a location a little more... tropical.

You wouldn't be referring to a SCUBA suit would you?

Okay, 85, here's your clue.

Question: Was this the last puppy?
Answer: No. There were plenty of puppies from all three breeds.

We've already covered that with the diving suit.

I'll try to answer the dog one:  Is it possible that the man had a picture of an Alsatian on his T-shirt, more specifically an Alsatian that he used to own but had recently died or run away?

The man called in advance to say he wanted an Alsatian?

The ten-dollar bill had I WANT AN ALSATIAN written on it in large friendly letters in magic marker? :P

Has the man been in the pet shop before and bought Alsatians?
