Trick question or rhetorical question? 

 

Spoiler

Theseus sailed to Crete with black sails. He said if he defeated the Minotaur he'd sail home to Athens with white sails. If he was slain, the ship would return with black sails. As it was, he forgot his promise to change the sails despite his victory, and his poor father committed suicide out of grief.

This one is from "Thing Explainer", a book by Randall Munroe, creator of xkcd.  It's worth the $24.

 

Currently $14.99 in hardcover on Amazon. :whistle:
