  Lili: Totally non-sequitar, but I’m sharing it anyway. A  “joke” that my (Chinese) Dad forwarded me this week:
  
  

  A Chinese and an American are seated next to each other on a flight from New
  York. The American asks if he would like to play a fun-game.
  
  The Chinese, 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 Chinese 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
  guy’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 Chinese 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 Chinese asks, “What goes up a
  hill with three legs and comes down with four?”
  
  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 coworkers. Checks the
  input. All to no avail!
  
  Finally, a long time later, he wakes the Chinese and hands him $500.
  
  The Chinese thanks him and turns back to get his sleep.
  
  The American, more than a little miffed, stirs the Chinese and asks, “Well,
  what’s the answer?” Without a word, the Chinese reaches into his wallet,
  hands the American $5, and goes back to sleep.
