How to Jog
Trick
Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.Trick
While sitting in her lounge chair drinking beer and watching a ball game, Bertha Dribble decided to turn over a new leaf and get into shape. Bertha hollered out to her husband to go to the library and find her a book on physical fitness. When Mr. Dribble got to the library he saw a book with "How to Jog" on its spine. He took the book home. When Bertha finally glanced at the book several weeks later, she found that it had nothing to do with getting into shape. Why?
Answer
It was an encyclopedia. The book simply carried entries of words that begin with 'How' to words that begin with 'Jog'.Hide Answer Show Answer

Nice... Seems that the encyclopedia writers should have thought about that misunderstanding though
Even though carrying an encyclopedia while jogging would be a good exercise

that was so damn easy. why is it rated as hard?
Two questions:
1. How did he check out the reference book?
2. Wouldn't it still should have the article about jogging in it?

he he stupid drunk man
Find me this book, until I see it, I consider this a lame teaser.
Iliked it a lot!!!!! That was pretty clever and ya got me!!!!
Good puzzle, but not realistic, and I don't mean the husband was an idiot for not at least flipping through it. Wouldn't an encyclopedia use a dash instead of the word TO? Also, is HOW a word you'd encounter in an encyclopedia?
Pft, I would never read that book.
I heard a similar one about 40 years ago - about the naughty little boy who ran out of a school library with a book entitled "How To Hug" hidden under his shirt! When he got home he found - well, you know now!
