I'll be gone for the next, oh, 14 hours, but I'll leave you with this one:
The rungs of a 10 foot ladder attached to a ship are 1 foot apart. If the water is rising at the rate of one foot an hour, how long will it take until the water covers over the ladder?...
It will never cover the ladder because as the water rises, so will the floating ship.

The woman he was driving with wasn't his wife. The "stranger" was the woman.
His wife was dead in the car all along.

They wouldn't cover the ladder, the ship floats on top of the water so if the water rises the ship rises with it.
EDIT: Why did you include the answer in your post
.Here's one for you...
A man was found murdered one Sunday morning. His wife immediately called the police. The police questioned the wife and staff and was given these alibis:
The Wife said she was in bed reading a book.
The Cook claimed she cooking breakfast.
The Gardener claimed he was planting seeds.
The Maid claimed she was getting the mail.
The Butler claimed he polishing the silver.
The police instantly arrested the murdered. Who did it and how did they know?

So you can check your own answer I suppose, since he said he was going to be gone for a while.

A hardware driver usually comes with a license.
A screwdriver, I was going to say Golf driver but that's been said already.It will never cover the ladder because as the water rises, so will the floating ship.
What driver doesn't have a licence?
Correctamundo.

Two men are drinking in a bar. Both their drinks are poisoned, but they do not know it. The first man quickly gulps down his, and walk away fine. The other takes quite a while to finish his drink, and he dies within hours. How is this possible?

One is poisoned with deadly dihydrogen monoxide?
One is a Gulf War veteran and has been inoculated against the Anthrax used to contaminate the drink?
One drinks too much and vomits it all out again?

The poison hadn't disolved, thus creating a deadly concotion, by the time that the first man finished his drink, leaving most of the poison as powder at the bottom of the glass.
