RIDDLE ME THIS

First topic message reminder :

Remember all those old riddle threads we used to have? LETS DO ANOTHER. Whoever gets the riddle right starts the next one and so on.
I'll start the first one.



A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."


The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.


In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

It did to me. When a human being senses danger to his or her life the body will immediately re-act in a defensive stance, this stance makes the body go through a jolt which is basically people getting frighten by things.
