A Clemson fan and a Carolina fan are sitting next to each other on a long flight. The Clemson fan asks if she would like to play a fun game. The Carolina fan is tired and just wants to take a nap. So she politely declines and tries to catch a few winks,
The Clemson fan persists, saying that the game is a lot of fun. "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5.00. You ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500." This catches the Carolina fan's attention. And so to keep him quiet, she agrees to play the game.
The Clemson fan asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The Carolina fan doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, and pulls out a 5-dollar bill, and hands it to the Clemson fan.
Now, it's the Carolina fan's turn. She asks the Clemson fan, "What goes up the hill with three legs and comes down with four?" The Clemson fan uses his laptop, searching all references. He uses the Air-phone, he searches the Net, and even the Library of Congress. He sends emails to all the smart friends he knows, all to no avail. By this time, the Carolina fan has nodded off to sleep.
After one hour of searching, he finally gives up. He wakes up the Carolina fan and hands her $500. The Carolina fan takes the $500 and goes back to sleep. The Clemson fan is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes her up again and asks, "Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?"
The Carolina fan reaches into her purse, hands the Clemson fan another 5-dollar bill and goes back to sleep.
