Friday Fever 5

Good Morning Friday!

A poet and a scientist were travelling together on a plane. The scientist was bored and said to the poet,"hey you want to play a game? I'll ask u a question, and if you get it wrong, you give me $5. Then if you ask me a question, if I can't answer it, I'll give u $5."

The poet thought about this for a moment, but decided against it, seeing that the scientist was obviously a very clever man. He politely turned down the scientist's offer.
The scientist, who was really bored, tried again. "Look, I'll ask you a question, and if you can't answer it, you give me $5. Then you ask me a question, I can't answer it, I'll give you $50." The poet agreed. "Okay," the scientist said, "what is the exact distance between the Earth and the Moon?" The poet obviously not knowing the answer, didn't stop to think about the scientist's question. He took a $5 bill out of his pocket and handed it to the scientist.
The scientist happily accepted the bill and promptly said,"okay, now its ur turn."

The poet thought about this for a few minutes, then asked, "all right, what goes up a mountain on three legs but comes down on four?"
The bright glow quickly vanished from the scientist's face. He thought about this for a very long time, taking his notepad making numerous assumptions. He took out his laptop and searched using his multimedia encyclopedia. As the plane was landing, the scientist, still unable to give an answer, gave up. He reluctantly handed the poet a $50 bill.

The poet accepted it graciously, getting ready to leave. "Wait!" The scientist shouted, "you can't do this to me! What's the answer?" The poet looked at the scientist and calmly put a $5 bill into his hand.

Have a pleasant friday!
Those going out today enjoy yourselves!
My spirit be with you!

Regards from your witty most brilliant and encouraging leader,
