did it have anything to do with his actually eating of his meal????
is the albatross just thrown in to confuse us?????
maybe he saw something on the tv they have there,like something that could get him in trouble
maybe looked at his watch and was late for something and had an accident that killed him..

i am hating this.. I will not cheat....so tempting
i know there will be a punchline in here somewhere and the answer will be so simple, I just can't get my mind around simple...why must everything be so complicated at first...
oh, I guess I should make an attempt to answer the riddle instead of complaining..
his food was talking and told him to go kill himself..
I guess if a neighbors dog can do something like that .. referring to a serial killers defense( son of sam) don't know what made me think of that, just the mood I am in.. I really need to just go to sleep...

Ok...the man comes home from a voyage...goes to a restaturant...orders albatross...takes one bite...goes home & kills himself.....Was it because he didnt understand the menu & thought albatross was something entirely different from what was actually served to him???... He took one bite & realized his mistake & felt so badly that he went home & killed himself??? am I getting anyways close???...................oh, this is driving me crazy....But I wont cheat..

I did not cheat & as you can see,my computer is somewhat working?
The gentleman was told whis wife died and they SAID they burried her at sea and that they killed an Albatross for meat......When he got home after enjoying the Albatross at sea, he ordered one for dinner and found that it did not taste anything like what he ate at sea....at that point he realized he ate his wife.......
