There's a fithy rich man who lives alone in a Mansion, except for his only butler. the man sits in bed all day and his butler waits on him when he needs the man needs something. the man, though blind, however, has exceptional listening skills. He could hear a pin drop 5 rooms away. one day, the man calls his butler into his room and soon find themselves in a heated discussion. By the end of the discussion, the butler had said "well then sir, i shall make a bet with you. i will bet you that i could sneak into this very room tonight, poor you a glass of ginger ale, and leave without you hearing a single thing"
"very well then, go get a glass, and be sure to put ice into it!" So the butler left the room, went to the kitchen, took out a glass and a tray of ice cubes and placed 3 ice cubes into the glass then headed back to his master's room. He walked over to the bed and handed the man the glass. the man shook the glass, nothing inside but 3 ice cubes. "butler, now, open the safe next to my bed and put this glass inside" and the butler did just that, closing the safe and turning the lock. he then left the room.
that night, the man sat up in bed, listening to every sound. he heard the wind outside and every hoot the owl made. he heard a mouse run across the floor and he even heard his butler snoring several rooms away. The man sat and listened all night long, never going to sleep.
the next morning, he heard his butler enter the room. "butler, it seems you have lost the bet. i have been up all night and you've failed to get my ginger ale"
"i wouldn't say that so soon sir" said the butler, opening the safe and giding his master's hand to the glass. the man picked it up. it was heavy, filled with something. the man sniffed, it surely smelt like ginger ale. he tasted it and, sure enough, it was ginger ale. "my lord butler, you've done it!"
How'd the butler pour the ginger ale?
he brought it into the room in the morning..
the ice cube was frozen ginger ale and melted over the night.
but can't he smell the frozen ginger ale?
the old man was blind lur
before the butler put the cup in the safe, he swapped it with one that has ginger ale.
