No Offences....

An Englishman and a Sardaarji are sitting next to each other on a long
flight from London to New York. The Englishman leans over to Sardaarji
and asks if he would like to play a fun game. The Sardaarji is tired
and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and rolls over to
the window to catch a few winks. The Englishman persists, saying that
the game is really easy and a lot of fun. He explains how the game works:
"I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me,
and visa-versa." Again, he politely declines and tries to get some sleep.
The chauvinistic Englishman figures that since his opponent is a
Sardaarji he will easily win the match, so he makes another offer: "Okay, how
about this." if you don't know the answer you pay me only $5, but if I
don't know the answer, I will pay you $50." this catches the
Sardaarji's attention and, figuring that there will be no end to this Torment
unless he plays, he agrees to play the game. The Englishman asks the first
question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The
Sardaarji doesn't say a word, reaches in to his wallet, pulls out a
five-dollar bill, and hands it to the Englishman. Now, it's the Sardaarji's turn.
He asks the Englishman, "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes
down with four?" The Englishman looks at him with a puzzled look. He
takes out his laptop and searches all his references. He taps into the
Air phone with his modem
and searches the net and even the library of congress. Frustrated, he
sends e-mails to all his co-workers and friends he knows. After over an
hour, of searching for the answer he finally gives up. He wakes the
Sardaarji and hands him $50. The Sardaarji politely takes the $50 and
turns away to get back to sleep. The Englishman, who is more than a little
frustrated! , wakes the Sardaarji and asks, "Well, so what is the
answer?" again without a word, the Sardaarji reaches into his wallet, hands
the Englishman $5, and goes back to sleep.
