A professor sits next to a farmer on a long train ride. Bored, he decides to challenge the farmer to a game.
Professor: “Let’s play a little quiz. I’ll ask you a question. If you don’t know the answer, you give me $5. Then you ask me a question. If I don’t know the answer, I’ll give you $500. Deal?”
The farmer shrugs and nods.
The professor goes first: “How far is the Earth from the Moon?”
Without hesitation, the farmer pulls out $5 and hands it over.
Now it’s the farmer’s turn. He asks: “What animal has three legs when climbing a mountain but four legs when coming down?”
The professor is baffled. He flips through his notes, searches every theory he knows, and even pulls out his phone (no service, of course). Defeated, he sighs, pulls out $500, and hands it to the farmer.
The farmer quietly pockets the cash and leans back for a nap.
But the professor can’t let it go. He shakes the farmer awake and demands: “Alright, what’s the answer?”
The farmer smiles, pulls out $5, hands it to the professor, and goes back to sleep. 😴😂
