Good one!
Another possible answer is simply that "there wasn't a single person on the boat" because there was more than one person on the boat -- because the number is higher than one, 'single' is an innapropriate term.
nice
Wish I was married.
okay. i prefer riddles with one possible answer
not bad... got me for a minute there
that was cute, I wish i was married
so obvious..

I like this one. I also got the same answer as nickel.
i thought people were painted ont the boat!!!!
Gave me a chuckle! Thanks for the fun teaser!
the boat was empty, "I" was crowded (In was in a crowd when I saw the boat)
I figured it was because they were all below deck (i.e. not "on" the boat but "in" it).
Ha! I like it!
This is my type of humor - a little crazy, but fun! Thanks for posting. Have a wonderful, sunny autumn day, friends DH and AS!
Hard one. Took at least 2 seconds to figure out. And my to Mi & Ct.
Didn't have to think outside the box for that one at all--got the answer in the time it took to read it!!
Happy gw is enjoying a sunny day; we are dark and rainy (ny). Maybe we'll get your weather tomorrow!

Actually, wordmama, it is gloomy, cold and rainy here in Michigan - that was just wishful thinking! I NEED some sun, so I was hoping!
Hope Michigan AND New York are nice for the rest of the week!

A real groaner, but did make me laugh.
thought the answer was they were two different boats fun though
Way too easy.
We had a dusting of snow last night and are expecting more tomorrow. Too early for the white stuff. Hope it is better in MI and PA.

Haha. Single. Married. Good one!
Saw that one coming a mile away.
I thought it was, they weren't ON the boat, but IN it.
I came up with the people were carrying the boat across the bridge, so none of them would be 'on' the boat, but under it.
I must have missed this one the first time around. Anyway, I found it extremely easy and got it right away. it sort of stuck out like a sore thumb, to me at least.
Thanks for posting anyway. it is more than I do.

I LOVED this one and I didn't get it. When I saw the answer, I got a good laugh out of it. Thanks for posting!
Creative
I don't know. I thought the people were in the water, crowding the boat... But the answer makes sense too. Too many possibilities with this one.
I did not get it but enjoyed the teaser. That was a tricky one.
I got this one right away. I still thought it was worth a chuckle.
I seen this in a book a long time ago and forgot the name of the book I always remember it being a yellow book do you know the name of it
Classic, common, never cease to be funny
