answer this, then post more!

Two men went into a restaurant. They both ordered the same dish from the menu. After they tasted it, one of the men went outside the restaurant and shot himself. Why?

the guy who shot himself ordered albatross. years before he was stranded on a desert island with some other people, i think they're plane crashed. he was one of the survivors, and there were also some dead. when the food ran out, one of the survivors went out hunting and cooked up meat for the survivors, he said it was albatross.

the albatross at the reseraunt tasted different, and the man surmises he ate human on the island and topped himself.

She was hit by a bus?

On the last one, how on earth could anyone work out without looking it up that the man ate albatross?

I suppose I might as well, since I've just looked it up. I say my albatross idea is just as plausible. :)

She works as a target for a knife thrower, her new shoes had slightly higher heels than normal and the knife thrower misjudged the knife he threw and killed her.

How about one of the most famous ones then.

A man lives on the tenth floor of a building. Every day he takes the elevator to go down to the ground floor to go to work or to go shopping.
When he returns he takes the elevator to the seventh floor and walks up the stairs to reach his apartment on the tenth floor. He hates walking so why does he do it?

Because he is a Dwarf and it's been raining.
