A scientest gets on a train to go to New York.
He is in a cabin which also has another person, someone who seemed stupid.
To pass the time the scientist decides to play a game with the guy.
So he says 'I will ask you a question and if you get it wrong, you have to
pay me 1 dollar, and then you ask me a question, and if I get it wrong, since you're so stupid, I'll pay you 10 dollars!'
The guy agrees and so they keep asking questions, and of course,
the scientist always gets the question right, and the peasant gets it wrong, they play for 3 rounds, and then its the stupid persons turn
.
He asks, “What has three legs, takes 10 hours to climb up a palm tree, and 10 seconds to get down?”
The scientist
is confused and spends 3 days contemplating on the question.
Finally, the train ride is coming to the end of the trip.
The scientist takes out 10 dollars and gives it to the guy.
He says ' I don't know, what has 3 legs, takes 10
hours to get up a palm tree and 10 seconds to get down?'
The peasant takes the 10 dollars and puts it into his pocket.
He then
takes out 1 dollar and hands it to the scientist. He shrugs, 'I don't know,either!'
