o/t Lateral thinking puzzles

[Royal Flush]

It's the silliest question ever, i know the answer and i can't believe anyone could have got it right without cheating.

[Ginger]

Agreed, you would never get this from reasoning it out. To whacky.

The dish that the two men ordered was albatross. They had been stranded many years earlier on a desert island. When the man tasted albatross he realized that he had never tasted it before. This meant that the meat he had been given on the island was not albatross as he had been told. He correctly deduced that he had eaten the flesh of his son who had died when they first reached the island.


sorry, this one was ridiculous


p.s thread over, all done!

Couldn't the manhole one be simply that:

-- square manhole covers don't fit.


You won't believe some of the answers people came up with when I threw this up in the air at work.

For example. For the 1st one -- His wife wanted him to get some excercise so demanded that he use the stairs on the way back. The fella gets off on level 7 and walks the rest so his wife is none the wiser if she sees him coming up.

When I asked, 'Why doesn't he just get off at level 9 then?', the reply was, 'Because the wife's mother lives on that floor.'

Oh, of course...

Some of them are really odd.

And they were being serious too...

THE MAN IN THE BAR

He felt he was no longer making sense, and needed confirmation.  as nobody goes into a bar to order a glass of water, he can't be normal.  He is now feeling better as the barman put him right, and he now feels he has his feet back on the ground.




That makes perfect sense...

Push that Car

A man pushed his car. He stopped when he reached a hotel at which point he knew he was bankrupt. Why?

He had been out drinking and remembered that he should not drink and drive, so he pushed. Whilst he was pushing, some poor beggar mugged him of all his money. Without wallet and nowhere else to go he tried for a local hotel. However, when he arrived, he checked his pockets to realise that the beggar had even mugged him of his 2nd spare credit card, which he doesn't always keep in his wallet. It was at this point that he realised that he was bankrupt.


I kid you not.
