6468 - Long joke Sunday

Hey! Let's start WWIII. Way to go MAGAts!

*****************

A Manager and a programmer are sitting next to each other on a long flight from LA to NY. The Manager leans over to the programmer and asks if he would like to play a fun game. The programmer just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. 

The Manager persists and explains that the game is real easy and a lotta fun. He explains, "I ask you 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 programmer politely declines and tries to get to sleep. The Manager now somewhat agitated, 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!"

This catches the programmer's attention, and he sees no end to this torment unless he plays, so he agrees to the game. The Manager asks the first question. "What's the distance from the Earth to the moon?"

The programmer doesn't say a word, but reaches into his wallet, pulls out a five dollar bill and hands it to the Manager.

Now, it's the programmer's turn. He asks the Manager, "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down on four?" The Manager looks up at him with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all of his references. He taps into the Airphone with his modem and searches the net and the Library of Congress. Frustrated, he sends e-mail to his staff -- all to no avail.

After about an hour, he wakes the programmer and hands him $50. The programmer politely takes the $50 and turns away to try to get back to sleep.

The Manager is more than a little miffed, shakes the programmer and asks, "Well, so what's the answer?"

Without a word, the programmer reaches into his wallet, hands the Manager $5, and turns away to get back to sleep.
