This man is real? (Posted on 2003-07-17) Difficulty: 3 of 5
There was a man who was born before his father, killed his mother, and married his sister.

Yet, there was nothing wrong with what he had done. Why?

Solution I am this man !!!!! | Comment 6 of 25 |
I am this man !! I was born "before" my father (that is, in front of my father in the delivery room, as in "the play was performed before an English audience.") I "killed" my mother, by telling her a funny joke!! (One of the meanings of "kill" is to cause to convulse with laughter, as in "oh, these jokes are killing me !!") And I "married" my sister (that is, as a lay minister, I officiated at her wedding, as in "the bride and grrom were married by Reverend Smith"). QED
