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.

It's a female surgeon

Well that's usually the answer, yeah, but cartesiandemon says "The son was not adopted, and the surgeon was neither female nor gay."

the priest

Did you look at some more of the 'puzzles' on that site? Hint: they are bilateral thinking puzzles.

Oh dur, I should read the question more carefully.
