An Englishman and an Indian are sitting next to each other on a long flight.
The Englishman is thinking that Indians are so dumbthat he could put one over them easy.
So the Englishman asks if the Indian would like to playa fun game.
The Indian is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few winks.
The Englishman persists saying that the game is a lot of fun. "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5. Then you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500," he says. This catches the Indian's attention and to keep the Englishman quiet, he agrees to play the game.
The Englishman asks the first question. � 'What's the distance from the Earth to the Moon?'
The Indian doesn't say a word, but reaches into his pocket, pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the Englishman.
Now it's the Indian's turn. � He asks, 'What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?'
The Englishman uses his laptop and searches all references he can find on the Net.
He sends e-mails to all the smart friends he knows; all to no avail. After an hour of searching, he finally gives up.
He wakes the Indian and hands him $500. The Indian pockets the $500 and goes right back to sleep.
The Englishman is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the Indian up and asks, 'Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?'
The Indian reaches into his pocket, hands the Englishman $5 and goes back to sleep.
