Patiyala to NewDelhi. The lawyer asks if he would like to play a fun
game. Santa, tired, just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines
and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer
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 fifty rupees, and vice versa."
Again, Santa declines and tries to get
some sleep. The lawyer, now agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know
the answer, you pay me Rs. 50, and if I don't know the answer, I will
pay you Rs. 5000."
This catches Santa's attention and,
figuring there will be no end to this torment, agrees to the game.
The lawyer asks the first question: "What's the distance from the
earth to the moon?"
Santa doesn't say a word, reaches into his purse, pulls out a Rs. 50
bill, and hands it to the lawyer. "Okay," says the lawyer, "your
turn." Santa asks, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes
back with four legs?"
The lawyer, puzzled, 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
coworkers but to no avail. After an hour,he wakes Santa and hands him
Rs. 5000. Santa thanks him and turns back toget some more sleep. The
lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, stirs Santa and
asks, "Well, what's the answer?"
Without a word, Santa reaches into his
purse, hands the lawyer Rs. 50, and goes back to sleep. And you
thought Santa Singh is dumb.
