Lateral Thinking #2
-
"A man walked into a bar. He spoke to the bartender, after which, the bartender pointed a gun at him. He then said 'Thank you', and left the bar promptly. How is this logical?"
Sample Question: Was he afraid that the bartender would shoot him?
A: Yes, but that wouldn't explain why he said 'Thank you'. -

Did he ask the bartender to show him the gun that he owns?
-

Oh wait! Is the gun a cigarette lighter made to resemble a gun, and the bartender actually helped to light up the man's cigarette, that's why he thanked him for it?
-
Nope. They just met, and the man did not know that the bartender even existed prior to him entering the bar.Originally posted by Rhonda:Did he ask the bartender to show him the gun that he owns? -
Nice try...Nope. He pointed the gun at the man, he didn't do anything else.Originally posted by Rhonda:Oh wait! Is the gun a cigarette lighter made to resemble a gun, and the bartender actually helped to light up the man's cigarette, that's why he thanked him for it? -
that guy never pay for his drinks ?

Nope. The bartender pointed the gun to the man's head without asking him to pay for anything.Originally posted by meltz:that guy never pay for his drinks ? -
He was looking to scare himself?
-
No, the man didn't want to be scared, but he became scared after the gun was pointed to him. He then thanked the bartender sincerely.Originally posted by extrinsic:He was looking to scare himself? -
the guy was doing a dare to scare himself or to get rid of something...
-
the man said, "can i have a shot?"
-
No, he wasn't doing a dare. Could you be more specific about the "something" part?Originally posted by Master -_-:the guy was doing a dare to scare himself or to get rid of something... -

Quite funny! But, no, the bartender didn't fire his gun! It was only pointed at the man's head. -

Two priests sitting in the castle's chapel see the queen attack the king and kill him. The priests rise, shake hands, and leave the room. How is this possible? -
