A man went to a party and drank some of the punch. Late for another appointment, he then left early. Everyone else at the party who drank the punch subsequently died of poisoning.

Why did the man not die?

(In reply to perfect timing by dorkdork)

If everybody else drank the punch and died, then the entire punch bowl would have to be poisoned. Hence the ice cube solution.
