Lateral Thinking Puzzle 2 --- The secret of mystery book

Albie was talking to Morkel one day.

“In one of my books, Morkel, the end is in the first half of the book and the preface is in the second half. Not only that,” said Albie, “but the foreword comes after the epilogue, and the index precedes the introduction.”

“That’s amazing,” said Morkel, “What kind of book is that?”


HOW DID ALBIE ANSWER?

Lateral thinking puzzle 1 -- The acting deaf dumb driver

Pammo was in a taxi on her way home. Baljeet, the taxi driver, knew she was a frequent visitor to the mall and is a well-known chatterbox. So he didn’t want to engage in conversation with her. So he pretended to be deaf and dumb. He pointed to his ears and mouth to indicate to her that he couldn’t hear or speak. This ruse seemed to work. The journey was peacefully silent.

When they arrived and Pammo had got out the taxi, Baljeet pointed to his meter.

Pammo looked at the meter, read what she owed him, paid him and walked off. But she almost immediately realised that Baljeet couldn’t have been a deaf mute.


HOW DID SHE KNOW THIS?

Aliens understanding the golf

Two aliens are visiting Earth to research the sports played on earth.

One day, their spaceship hovers over a golf course and the two aliens watch a solitary golfer in sheer amazement.

The golfer hits the tee shot, shanks his second into the rough deserted piece of land, takes three to get out of the rough onto the fairway, slices the next shot into the bushes, then takes a putter to get it out and on to the fairway again.


One alien says to the other that he must be playing some sort of weird game. They continue to observe the golfer.

The golfer then hits a shot into a bunker by the green, takes several shots to get out of the bunker and finally onto the green, and puts several times until he finally gets the ball into the hole.

At this point, the other alien says to his partner, "Aah, now he's really in some serious trouble!"

The New Comedian

Albie is always telling jokes and thinks he could make a great stand-up comedian. So when one of his friends suggests he do a try out, Albie volunteers to entertain patients in one of the wards at a nearby hospital.

Albie starts by telling the patients some jokes and finishes by singing some funny songs.

Just before he leaves, he says to the patients, "I hope you all get better."

One elderly male replies, "I hope you get better, too."
