Difficulty:* (0.97)



An executive went away on a long business trip. Before he left he asked his secretary to forward all of his mail. However, he forgot to give her the key to his mailbox. When he realized his mistake, he mailed the key to his office so the secretary could send his mail to him. But, she never did mail it. The executive got angry and phoned his office, planning to fire his secretary. However, she was able to explain to him why she hadn't sent his mail. He quickly realized he was in the wrong and apologized. What did the secretary say to make the executive realize his error?

Answer:

She reminded him that his key was safely locked inside the mailbox that it unlocks. After all, he did mail it there.

A little less info. would have made this more fun, but I liked it. Sounds like the boss from the comic strip "Dilbert."

Seriously, did anyone really need the hint? :roll:

How does he open the mailbox to get the key out?

Posted by doggyxp12/28/04
Not the secretary, but how will the executive now get his mail?

This is also a very old teaser. I had to rate it easy and kinda boring just because i've seen this one about a billion and four times.

I got it without the hint and talking about the hint, the hint gave it away.

ha ah ahaha ah!

Posted by Boldcommander11/15/12
Wow, easy puzzle but still fun! Also, if he's that stupid, then how did he get up to the rank of executive? If he's as smart as he should be, he wouldn't have done that. Well anyway, he probably has a spare one somewhere.
