FalseDawn Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 For a bit of fun... There's this guy who's really shy, so he goes to a book store and buys a book titled "Learn to Mingle". He gets home and and as soon as he starts reading it, he realizes it's no use to him. Why?

He gets home and and as soon as he starts reading it, he realizes it's no use to him. Why? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe because hes too shy to mingle :rolleyes: Peace, --------------------------------
GraphicsGuy Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 He doesn't get invited to parties so there is no opportunity to "mingle"? Rule #1: Without exception, backup your database and files before making any changes to your files or database. Rule #2: Make sure there are no exceptions to Rule #1.
FalseDawn Posted June 4, 2005 Author Posted June 4, 2005 All wrong. It's "lateral thinking", so the answer isn't going to be anything that obvious.
Harald Ponce de Leon Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 He lives outback, with his closest neighbour being a few kilometers/miles away? And there is no one at home to mingle with.. , osCommerce

Jack_mcs Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 He, of course, has an oscommerce shop. "Time to mingle." What is that?

TheJackal Posted June 4, 2005 Posted June 4, 2005 He got the wrong book? 'Mingle' has 3 meanings..and it means 'to get involved' in this case? - The Jackal
dreamscape Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 the book suggests going to the local bookstore The only thing necessary for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing - Edmund Burke
FalseDawn Posted June 5, 2005 Author Posted June 5, 2005 TheJackal is right, but for the wrong reason...
Guest Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 My first action was to go to dictionary.com and look at the definition. I think it only listed 2 and neither seemed different enough to suggest a "lateral" answer. I just checked the Concise Oxford Dictionary. It suggests that mingle means to mix. So maybe the book is about mixing things like chemicals, recipes, etc. ed
FalseDawn Posted June 5, 2005 Author Posted June 5, 2005 No, it's nothing to do with the definition of the words.
bobg7 Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 He couldnt read Installed Contributions: CCGV, Close Popup, Dynamic Meta Tags, Easy Populate, Froogle Data Feeder, Google Position, Infobox Header Entire Row, Live Support for OSC, PayPal Seal with CC images, Report_m Sales, Shop by Price Revised, SQL Updater, Who's Online Enhancement, Footer, GNA EP Assistant and still going.
Jeremy at oddly enough Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 If he's shy, he can already mingle, he can blend into the background and go unnoticed by others. He needs a book that will help him feel alright drawing attention to himself. Jeremy

GraphicsGuy Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 Hmmm. It was a busy bookstore and they handed him the wrong one after ringing it up? Rule #1: Without exception, backup your database and files before making any changes to your files or database. Rule #2: Make sure there are no exceptions to Rule #1.
FalseDawn Posted June 5, 2005 Author Posted June 5, 2005 Nope - all wrong. If he was dyslexic or couldn't read - why would be buy a book in the first place? :rolleyes: I thought someone would have figured it out by now!
joop Posted June 5, 2005 Posted June 5, 2005 He has been to the bookstore to buy the book so he already mingled with the crowd there.
FalseDawn Posted June 5, 2005 Author Posted June 5, 2005 No, as I said, he got the wrong book. The question is, why?
