> A Programmer and an Engineer were sitting next to each other on an
> airplane. The Programmer leans over to the Engineer and asks if he
> wants to play a fun game. The Engineer just wants to sleep so he
> politely declines, turns away and tries to sleep. The Programmer
> persists and explains that it's a real easy game. He explains,"I ask a
> question and if you don't know the answer you pay me $5. Then you ask
> a question and if I don't know the answer I'll pay you $5." Again the
> Engineer politely declines and tries to sleep.
>
> The Programmer, now somewhat agitated, says, "O.K., if you don't know
> the answer you pay me $5 and if I don't know the answer I pay you $50!"
> Now, that got the Engineer's attention, so he agrees to the game. The
> Programmer asks the first question, "What's the distance from the earth
> to the moon?" Then Engineer doesn't say a word and just hands the
> Programmer $5.
>
> Now, its the Engineer's turn. He asks the Programmer,"What goes up a
> hill with three legs and comes down on four?" The Programmer looks at
> him with a puzzled look, takes out his laptop computer, looks through
> all his references and after about an hour wakes the Engineer and hands
> the Engineer $50. The Engineer politely takes the $50 turns away and
> tries to return to sleep.
>
> The Programmer, a little miffed, asks, "Well what's the answer to the
> question?" Without a word, the Engineer reaches into his wallet, hands
> $5 to the Programmer, turns away and returns to sleep.
