An Iranian and an American are seated next to eachother on a flight from New York. The American asks ifhe would like to play a fun-game.The Iranian, tired, just wants to take a nap, so hepolitely declines and rolls over to the window tocatch a few winks.The American persists and explains that the game iseasy and a lot of fun.He says, "I ask you a question, and if you don t knowthe answer, you pay me $5, and vice versa." Again, theIranian declines and tries to get some sleep.The American, now worked up, says, "Okay, if you don tknow the answer, you pay me $5, and if I don t knowthe answer, I ll pay you $500."This gets the guy s attention and, figuring there willbe no end to this torment, agrees to the game.The American asks the first question, "What s thedistance from the earth to the moon?"The Iranian doesn t say a word, reaches into hiswallet, pulls out a $5 bill, and hands it to theAmerican."Okay," says the American, "your turn."So the Iranian asks, "What goes up a hill withthreelegs and comes down with four?The American thinks about it. No answer.Puzzled, he takes out his laptop computer andsearchesall his references. No answer!He taps into the air-phone with his modem andsearchesthe Internet and the Library of Congress. Noanswer.Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends andcoworkers. Checks the input. All to no avail!Finally, a long time later, he wakes the Iranianand hands him $500. The Iranian thanks him and turnsback 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 hiswallet, hands the American $5, and goes back to sleep!
