There are two men walking in the desert, but neither knows each other. One of them is dying of thirst and the other has a full jug of water. The man with the jug offers the man a drink, but only if he follows three simple rules.
Rule 1: He cannot have the jug, because it is his only one.
Rule 2: He cannot remove the cork from the spout and drink this way.
Rule 3: He cannot poke a hole into the cork or the jug.
So, the thirsty man accepted his rules and then, he finished his drink and left. How did he do it?

froggygg Mar 23, 2005	Got it. To the ketchupwins - since the word "HE" was emphasized by not being allowed to take jug, remove cork or poke holes, the owner of the jug did all the work. He held jug, removed cork and gave stranger a drink. Jug never left owner's hands. Right??
swimmer4life292 Mar 27, 2005	I thought that maybe they were in the desert, that the jug started to sweat the water---i know thats wierd but...it works!!
