Here, have a joke

askwangyao:

A Chinese man and an American man are seated next to each other on a flight from New York. The American asks if the Chinese would like to play a fun game. 
The Chinese, 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 Chinese 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 Chinese’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 Chinese 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 Chinese 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 Chinese and hands him $500. 
The Chinese thanks him and turns back to get his sleep. 
The American, more than a little miffed, stirs the Chinese and asks, “Well, what’s the answer?” 
Without a word, the Chinese reaches into his wallet, hands the American $5, and goes back to sleep.
