Welcome to December. Hope you had a terrific week. The time of waiting has begun....
A programmer and an engineer were sitting next to each other on an airplane. The programmer leans over and asks if he wants to play a fun game. The engineer just wants to be left alone, so he politely declines, turns away, and tries to sleep.
The programmer continues to pester the engineer. “C’mon, it’s a really easy game. I ask a question and if you don’t know the answer you pay me $5. Then you ask me a question and if I don’t know the answer, I’ll pay you $5.” Again, the engineer declines and tries to sleep.
The programmer really wants to play the game and says, “OK, if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5, and if I don’t know the answer, I’ll pay you $50!”
The engineer grins and agrees to play. The programmer asks the first question, “What is the distance from the earth to the moon?”
The engineer doesn’t say a word, just hands the programmer $5.
The engineer asks, “What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down on four?” The programmer looks thoughtful, takes out his laptop and starts to surf the net for the answer. After an hour he wakes the engineer to hand him $50. The engineer takes the money, turns away, and tries to go back to sleep.
The programmer asks, “Well? What’s the answer?”
Without a word, the engineer grabs $5 and it to the programmer.
