Four men were in a boat on the lake. The boat turns over, and all four men sink to the bottom of the lake, yet not a single man got wet! Why?

Just let me know when you give up !

The lake was dry.

Wrong answer ! "They were rowing on the lake, so the lake couldn't be dry !". Try again...!

Right ! My mistake. I never said they were rowing. I just said they were in a boat, on the lake. Anyway, I am still waiting for the right answer

Nobody is trying ?

Wrong answer.
Clue : The answer is a pun. Try to find a different meaning for one of the words...

what's a pun ?

a pun =
A play on words, sometimes on different senses of the same word and sometimes on the similar sense or sound of different words.
Now, if that doesn't help, just let me know, and I will tell you in French, but this forum is meant to help you improve your English, isn't it ?

Ok, I understand and I will try again to find the solution.

Here is the answer :
All the men are married, nobody is single (= not married ).
