Well, lets see if this puzzle fits you.

The solution seems me totally logical, but not every body might think so.
You may ask me as many questions as you wish, but mail them to my person, 
so you don't spoil it for the others.
Questions will be answered with yes, no and irrelevant (most are).

A man walks into a saloon and asks the bartender for a glass of water.
The bartender, saying nothing, pulls out a shot-gun and points it at the man.
-Thank you, the man says and leaves the bar.

Question: 
  What really happend? Why did the man say thank you (his goal WAS actually 
 achived) and leave?
