[onetrack]

Excluding the capital letter, all the remaining letters can be reversed, and the word remains the same.

[red750]

Seeing as you got so close, if you take the capital letter and place it at the end, the word spelled backwards is the same.

[red750]

Two girls go into a bar and order drinks. One drinks very slowly, and the other has three drinks in the same time.

 

One of them dies of poisoning, the slow drinking one. how is this possible?

[Jerry_Atrick]

Her drink was spiked.. Didn't mention alcohol poisoning...  Could have been a huge  or high alcohol one drink, that she actually drink (in terms of volume) faster than the oother giurl, etc. She could have already consumed something before entering the bar...

[red750]

The poison was in the ice. The slower drinker's ice melted.

[Jerry_Atrick]

So, a spiked drink then

[nomadpete]

That's what I was going to say. But it took me too long to find my brain, to tease.

[facthunter]

I always chew my Ice anyhow.  Nev

[onetrack]

So you get a bigger dose of the poison more quickly, and don't suffer a slow death?

[facthunter]

Scottish blood Laddie. Don't waste any of it.   The  reason I've never been in a brothel too.  Nev
