See How Smart a Filipino is....
> A Filipino and an American are seated next to each other on a flight > from Los Angeles to New York. The American asks if he would like to > play a fun-game. > > The Filipino, tired, just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines > and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. > > 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, the Filipino declines and tries to get some sleep. > > The American, now worked up, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer, > you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you $500." > > This gets the Filipino's attention and, figuring there will be no end > to this torment, > agrees to the game. > > The American asks the first question, "What's the distance from the > earth to the moon?" > > The Filipino doesn't say a word, reaches into his wallet, pulls out a > $5 bill and > hands it to the American. > > "Okay," says the American, "Your turn." > > So the Filipino asks, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes > down with four legs?" > > The American thinks about it. No answer. > > Puzzled, he takes out his laptop computer 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. > > Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and co-workers. > > Checks the input. All to no avail! > > Finally, a long time later, he wakes the Filipino and hands him $500. > > The Filipino thanks him and turns back to get his sleep. > > The American, more than a little miffed, stirs the Filipino and asks, > > "Well, what's the answer?" > > Without a word, the Filipino reaches into his purse, hands the American > $5, and goes back to sleep!
