Maybe the stranger said "If you open your mouth or move one muscle I will shoot you dead. Understand?"

Probably the man doesn't speak / understand the language that the stranger spoke.

The man was an undertaker who routinely answers question all day and every day, then someone asked him, have you ever had sex with a client?

Answerer: Joe.
Questioner: John.

Joe has a lisp. John has a lisp. John asked a question of Joe. Joe believed that if he answered John, since he would answer with a lisp, as he had one, that John would think Joe was making fun of John.

Since they are strangers, John doesn't know Joe has a lisp.


Wow. That might actually be followed.

God, really I think I came up with the answer a long time ago....

Question: Would you be willing not to answer this question?

If the man said "yes" he would have answered the question incorrectly by merely speaking.
If the man said "no" he would have answered incorrectly also.

he would have no choice but to not speak in order to answer the question.
