An Iranian and an American are seated next to each
other on a flight from New York. The American asks if
he would like to play a fun-game.
The Iranian, tired, just wants to take a nap, so he
politely declines and rolls over to the window to
catch a few winks.
The American persists and explains that the game is
easy and a lot of fun.
He says, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know
the answer, you pay me $5, and vice versa." Again, the
Iranian declines and tries to get some sleep.
The American, now worked up, says, "Okay, if you don't
know the answer, you pay me $5, and if I don't know
the answer, I'll pay you $500."
This gets the guy's attention and, figuring there will
be no end to this torment, agrees to the game.
The American asks the first question, "What's the
distance from the earth to the moon?"
The Iranian doesn't say a word, reaches into his
wallet, pulls out a $5 bill, and hands it to the
American.
"Okay," says the American, "your turn."
So the Iranian asks, "What goes up a hill with
three
legs and comes down with four?
The American thinks about it. No answer.
Puzzled, he takes out his laptop computer and
searches
all his references. No answer!
He taps into the air-phone with his modem and
searches
the Internet and the Library of Congress. No
answer.
Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and
coworkers. Checks the input. All to no avail!
Finally, a long time later, he wakes the Iranian
and hands him $500. The Iranian thanks him and turns
back to get his sleep.
The American, more than a little miffed, stirs, the Iranian and asks, "Well, what's the answer?"
Without a word, the Iranian reaches into his
wallet, hands the American $5, and goes back to sleep!
