This is more of a riddle than a joke. Good luck with it. I am willing to bet nobody gets it!!

A man is fishing in a normal lake. He is standing in water up to his waist. Suddenly, a big gust of wind blows his hat from his head and the hat lands in the water. There is nothing special about the lake, the man, his hat or the wind.

So....how does he get his hat back?

Ok u have stumped me and now i crave the answer. At first I thought the fishing pole but I'm assuming there is nothing special about that either so the only other thing that makes sense is he dove in for it or grabbed it. Maybe my brain is just not functioning today lol but if u dont mind humoring me with the answer I would appreciate it very much. Best wishes for a pleasant day

Hmmmm
So the hat surely had a lure or two on it,
around the band..
So a fish sees the lures and swallows the hat.
The fisherman catches the fish and guts it.
Voila hat???????????/

Nope, sorry - the answer is even simpler than that, believe it or not!!

I seen this about 5 yrs ago and I went nuts for 2 weeks because I couldn't get the answer and the guy who told it wouldn't give me the answer. But after I got it, I could have slammed my head into the nearest wall lol......it's THAT obvious.

2 answers:

1. Being a fisherman, he casts out and "catches" his hat and reels it in.
2. He merely WALKS to his hat (after all the water is waist high)

Okay.
He goes home, hatless.
Thinks about it for two weeks.
Then goes and kills the guy who would not
tell him how to retrieve his hat.
Then he takes HIS hat.

Sorry, all answers, no matter how humorous, are incorrect. You guys are reading wayyyyyy too much into this, trust me. But thanks for the chuckle SkyDancingA and burgundybry!

How does a man get a hat back after his hat falls in the water?

I will give you a hint. The answer is one word.
