An AnXXXsen Consultant and a DelXXXXe Consultant are sitting next to each other on a long flight from LA to NY. The AnXXXsen Consultant leans over to the DelXXXXe Consultant and asks if he would like to play a fun game. The DelXXXXe Consultant just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The AnXXXsen Consultant 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 DelXXXXe Consultant politely declines and tries to get to sleep. The AnXXXsen Consultant, 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 DelXXXXe Consultant's attention, and he sees no end to his torment unless he plays, so he agrees to the game. The AnXXXsen Consultant asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?"
The DelXXXXe Consultant doesn't say a word, but reaches into his wallet, pulls out a five dollar bill and hands it to the AnXXXsen Consultant. Now, it's the DelXXXXe Consultant's turn. He asks the AnXXXsen Consultant "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down on four?"
The AnXXXsen Consultant 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. He hooks into the AnXXXsen Knowledge Xchange (R), and consults with his peers around the world, all to no avail. After about an hour, he wakes the DelXXXXe Consultant and hands him $50. The DelXXXXe Consultant politely takes the $50 and turns away to try to get back to sleep.
The AnXXXsen Consultant, more than a little miffed, shakes the DelXXXXe Consultant and asks "Well, so what's the answer?"
Without a word, the DelXXXXe Consultant reaches into his wallet, hands the AnXXXsen Consultant $5, and turns away to get back to sleep.
