A man is walking through the desert. He sees and enormously large cliff, and a dead man at the bottom. The dead man is in his underwear and is holding a straw.
How did the man die and how did he get there?

The dead man and his two friends (three people) were flying in a hot air balloon. They were heading down wards and towards the cliff. They threw everything out of the hot air balloon and stripped to their underwear, but it wasn't enough. They decided to draw straws to see who would have to jump out. That poor man lost and had to jump out. His friends floated away to safety.
