Never Bet With A Airman First Class

A U.S.M.C. Colonel and a U.S.A.F A1C are sitting next to each other on a long flight.

The U.S.M.C. Colonel is thinking that U.S.A.F A1C are so dumb that he could get one over on them easy.

So the U.S.M.C. Colonel asks if the U.S.A.F A1C would like to play a fun game.

The U.S.A.F A1C is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few winks.

The U.S.M.C. Colonel persists, saying that the game is a lot of fun. I ask you a question, and if you dont know the answer, you pay me only $5. Then you ask me one, and if I dont know the answer, I will pay you $500, he says.

This catches the U.S.A.F A1Cs attention and, to keep the U.S.M.C. Colonel quiet, he agrees to play the game.

The U.S.M.C. Colonel asks the first question. Whats the distance from the Earth to the Moon? The U.S.A.F A1C doesn't say a word, but reaches into his pocket, pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the U.S.M.C. Colonel.

Now its the U.S.A.F A1Cs turn. He asks the U.S.M.C. Colonel, What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four? The U.S.M.C.

Colonel uses his laptop and searches all references he can find on the Net. He sends e-mails to all the smart friends he knows; all to no avail. After an hour of searching, he finally gives up.

He wakes the U.S.A.F A1C and hands him $500. The U.S.A.F A1C pockets the $500 and goes right back to sleep.

The U.S.M.C. Colonel is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the U.S.A.F A1C up and asks, Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?

The U.S.A.F A1C reaches into his pocket, hands the U.S.M.C. Colonel $5, and goes back to sleep.
