You never said you needed that much help. I mean if I gave the answer why bother asking the question.
Although now I think about it, if the answer is posted instead of the question, with the question being what is sought. Would that be any easier? Post the answer, asking for the question, would make the question both answer & question. Follow that!


First one, question please
A mushroom.

What Cubist said but make it a combination lock. Mail her the number in some kind of devious code. It's a cunning plan if ever there were one.

Assume that all codes are breakable, so this wouldn't work.

If it's based on encryption, you wouldn't want to send any key as that would make it vunerable.

Bob sends to Alice with a padlock. Alice adds a 2nd padlock and sends it back to Bob. Bob removes first padlock and sends it back to Alice. Alice removes her padlock and all is happy....except she wanted something better than socks!!

Bingo.
You win 1 emoticon:

A man drives to work and back wearing a snorkel mask. Why?

Because he's a f***ing idiot

 

[Maz]

Because he's a f***ing idiot

Almost.
He is of sound body and mind. He is a normal person, going to a normal job, driving a normal car...

Does he 'drive' some sort of boat/submarine?

 

[Maz]

Does he 'drive' some sort of boat/submarine?

No, it's a normal car.
I guess it's a sort of 'lateral thinking' puzzle...

 

[benb]

There's been some kind of gas attack, or he has an allergic skin reaction which means he has to stay sealed up?
