"If you don't mind, this reminds me of a puzzle I heard as a boy. Perhaps you'd like to have a crack at it? Then we can get to know each other over some tea. My assistant brewed it himself."

He cleared his throat, then said:

"My, how curious. This reminds me of a puzzle I heard as a boy - perhaps you can take a crack at solving it?"

"A man walks into his bathroom and shoots himself directly between the eyes, with a real gun, with real bullets. And yet he exited the bathroom completely alive, without a scratch on him. 

How is this possible?"
