A Brain Teaser!!!
|
Hi everybody,
First and foremost, I want to wish Silke a belated happy birthday. Silke, how do you expect me to remember your birthday, when you never look any older? I hope your birthday was all that you hoped for. 
Now, Here is a brain teaser. Let �s see who �ll be the great thinker and guess the correct answer.
Harry went out to dinner with his friends Larry, Barry, and Gary. Harry sat across from Gary. At Gary �s right, opposite Barry, sat Larry. When the waiter came for their orders, Larry and Barry ordered steak. Gary chose fish, and Harry (who likes to be difficult) ordered like this: "Unless the man at the left of the man opposite the man who ordered fish is not having what the man across from the man at the right of the man at my left is having, then I �ll have what the man across from the man at the right of the man opposite me ordered. Otherwise, bring me the fettucine alfredo."
Assuming "right" and "left" is from the viewpoint of the diners, what did Harry order?
Good luck,
Nebal

Hey Olinda , u have a sharp mind.
Your answer yesterday was correct. It �s the eyes.
Come on, don �t give excuses like someone isn �t good at math, and the other isn �t still ready to tease her mind. And teahers blame their sts. when giving excuses. That �s unfair!!!!  |

You know what?
harry is but a nasty man.
If I were the waiter I would demand him to go to the kitchen and help himself. May be he found something else looking and smelling better.
