Hi all

!

This is a funny riddle, which one of my teachers gave me long long ago.

Please read the story, and then answer the question by asking me things not clear to you yet with Yes/No questions (Only Y/N questions

) till you can give the answer. But if you already knew it, please keep secret for the ones who haven't may enjoy the game

.

Here it comes...

---
It was a dry and hot day. A cowboy went into a bar in Texas and asked for a glass of water. He was not in a very good mood. Knowing that, the bartender steadily moved towards him, and, suddenly drew out a gun, pointing it at his very forehead...
The next 5 seconds passed by in stillness...
Then the cowboy stood up, smiled happily when saying a big 'Thank You!!!' and walked away satisfactorily.
---

Now is the question: What happened to the cowboy ?

Questions please, questions please

!

(E.g. If you ask 'Is the bartender a mafia member?' then my answer is 'No', make sense

?)

HTIF! (Hope that is funny

!)

Good question!

I've heard this one, but I won't give it away. Here's the way I heard it:

A woman walks into a bar and asks for a glass of water. The bartender pulls out a gun and thrusts it up into her face.

The woman smiles, and walks out of the bar happy.

What happened?

This can be a lot of fun, just keep asking lots of yes/no questions, and eventually, you'll get it.

Was it really a glass-full of drinking-water that the cowboy wanted?

**Erin** · 09-28-2002, 01:55 AM

Yes, the cowboy really wanted a glass of water when he asked for one.

Vaya · 09-28-2002, 09:08 AM

Was it only a glass of water what the cowboy wanted?

Yes, at that time he only wants a glass of water
