MONDAY MIND GAME

A Japanese ship is on route back to the shore from the Atlantic Ocean. Seeking the silent waves, the captain decides to take a shower. He keeps his Rolex and diamond studded gold bracelet on the shelf and goes for a shower. When he returns back, he finds both the watch and bracelet missing. He immediately calls the four crew members and asks them what they were doing during while he was in the shower. The following are the answers:

1. The Frenchman: I was in the kitchen, making bacon sandwiches for everybody.

2. The Russian: I was in the generator room, checking the generator.

3. The Albanian: I saw that the flag hoisted on the ship was upside down, so I went to correct it.

4. The Norwegian: I was tired and taking a quick nap.

The captain immediately knew who the thief was. Can you tell?

The thief is the Albanian. 

The captain knew it was him because the Japanese flag looks the same when it's upside down, therefore, the Albanian was telling a lie.
