Santa And An American

Santa Singh and an American are seated next to each other on a flight from LA to NY.
The American asks Santa Singh if he’d like to play a fun game. Santa Singh is tired, so he declines and tries to get some sleep.
The American persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun.

He says, “I ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5, and vice versa.” Again, Santa Singh declines. The American, now
agitated, says, “Okay, if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5, and if I don’t know the answer, I pay you $500.”

This catches Santa Singh’s attention. He sits up, yawns and agrees to play the game. The American asks the first question: “What’s the distance from the earth to the moon?”

Santa Singh doesn’t say a word, reaches his wallet, pulls out $5, hands it to the American.

“Okay,” says the American, “Your turn.” Santa asks, “What goes up a hill with 4 legs and comes down with 8 legs?” and goes back to sleep. The American, totally puzzled, takes out his laptop and searches all his references… no answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the Internet and the Library of Congress… no answer. He sends e-mails to all his friends and co-workers… no answer.
After an hour, he wakes Santa Singh up and hands him $500.

Santa Singh thanks him and goes back to sleep. The American shakes Santa Singh and asks, “Well, what’s the answer?”

Without a word, Santa Singh reaches into his purse, hands the American $5, and goes back to sleep.
