Thinking outside the goldfish bowl

[j4]

From Bilateral thinking puzzles:

Q: Deep in the forest was found the body of a man who was wearing only swimming trunks, snorkel and facemask. The nearest lake was 8 miles away and the sea was 100 miles away. What happened?

A: The man is a priest.

Also, if you haven't seen Michael Kelly's lateral thinking puzzles yet, you should.
