A man walks into a bar and asks the bartender for a glass of water. The bartender pulls out a shotgun, points it at the man, and cocks it. The man pauses, before saying “Thank you” and leaves. What happened?
Answer
The man had hiccups and wanted a glass of water to help get rid of them. The bartender could hear the hiccups when the man spoke, so he brought the gun out to scare the hiccups away. It worked and the man thanked him and left, no longer needing the glass of water.
This is a situation puzzle.
