Truck Driver

Here is a famous riddle.

Puzzle. A police officer saw a truck driver going the wrong way down a one-way street, but didn’t try to stop him. Why?

The standard answer: the truck driver was walking.

My students are usually very inventive, but this time they came up with only two alternative answers worth mentioning:

  • The truck was a fire truck rushing to a fire.
  • It was Halloween, and the police officer was just a kid dressed as one.

I am sure there are more cute ways to explain the situation. Do you have one?
