I've heard the answer to #5! The man was on the phone, explaining to someone that the fish he'd caught was "this big" - he flung out his arms to either side, creating the two holes in the glass and slitting his wrists at the same time.

Ta-da!

Wait a minute, did I say I'd heard that? I meant, I figured it out. Yeah, that's it....

I gots another one:

6. There is a field strewn with clothing spread out in a long trail. At the end of the trail is a space; the next "item" in the field is a naked man, clutching half a matchstick. What happened?

Let us go in peace to love and serve the board.

i like the answer to four so much i am posting it myself
you rub your hands together until they are sore
you saw yourself in half
put yourself back together
two halves make a whole
climb through the hole
cough until you make yourself hoarse
jump on the horse and ride home

Two people, rapidly descending hot-air balloon, tossing off clothes to lighten load, man jumps to save life of companion, having drawn the shortest straw.

Surely not Dodyskin, that would prostitute the whole tenor of the game.
