Riddle

Four men were in a boat on the lake. The boat turns over, and all four men sink to the bottom of the lake, yet not a single man got wet! Why?

Choose an answer

A.They were wearing wetsuits
B.The lake was actually empty
C.They were rescued instantly
D.Because they were all married and not single.
Hint: It's a 8-word phrase with 37 letters, starting with "B".

Answer

Because they were all married and not single.

Why this is the answer

This is a pun on 'single' meaning unmarried versus not getting 'wet' -- since all were married, none were 'single,' the riddle's real trick.
