MONDAY MIND GAME

A wise man is lost in the desert with no water. He encounters a wise guy who is drinking from a jug. Seeing the wise man approach, the wise guy corks the jug. “May I have some of your water, please?” the wise man asks. “I am dying of thirst.”

The wise guy replies, “Yes, but only if you agree to three conditions: 

1) You must not remove the cork from the jug; 

2) You must not break up the cork or make a hole in it; and 

3) You must not damage the jug or make a hole in it.” 

The wise man agrees.

How does he do it?
