An American man and a Nigerian
>
>
>A Nigerian and an American man are sitting next to
each other on a
>long flight from London to New York.
>
>The American man leans over to the Nigerian and asks
if he would
>like to play a fun game.
>
>The Nigerian just wants to take a nap, so he politely
declines and
>rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.
>
>The American man persists and explains that the game
is real easy
>and is a lot of fun. He explains "I ask you a
question, and if you
>don't know the answer, you pay me $5. Then you ask me
a question,
>and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you $5."
>
>Again, the Nigerian politely declines and tries to
get to sleep.
>
>The American man , now somewhat agitated, says, "OK,
if you don't
>know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don't know
the answer, I'll
>pay you $100!"
>
>This catches the Nigerian's attention, and he sees no
end to this
>torment unless he plays, so he agrees to the game.
>
>The American asks the first question. "What's the
distance from the
>earth to the moon?" The Nigerian doesn't say a word,
but reaches
>into his wallet, pulls out a five dollar bill and
hands it to the
>American.
>
>Now, it's the Nigerian's turn. He asks the American
"What goes up a
>hill with three legs, and comes down on four?"
>
>The American looks up at him with a puzzled look. He
takes out his
>laptop computer and searches all of his references.
He taps into the
>Airphone with his modem and searches the net and the
Library of
>Congress. Frustrated, he sends e-mail to his
co-workers-all to no
>avail.
>
>After about an hour, he wakes the Nigerian and hands
him $100. The
>Nigerian politely takes the $100 and turns away to
try to get back
>to sleep. The American, more than a little miffed,
shakes the
>Nigerian and asks "Well, so what's the answer?"
Without a word, the
>Nigerian reaches into his wallet, hands the American
$5, and turns
>away to get back to sleep.
So how do U assess the Nigerian?.............
