A super-smug professor hops on a plane and ends up sitting next to a quiet old man.
Halfway through the flight, the professor gets a brilliant (in his mind) idea: “Hey, wanna play a little brain game?”
The old man squints. “What kind of game?”
“I ask you a question, you ask me one,” the professor explains. “If you get mine right, I give you a buck. If you get it wrong, you give me a buck. Easy, right?” He smirks—he’s definitely about to school this guy.
But the old man just shakes his head. “Nah.”
“C’mon!” says the professor. “If I lose, I’ll give you two bucks!”
“Nope.”
“Five bucks!”
“Still no.”
“Ten?!”
“Not happening.”
Getting desperate, the professor blurts out: “Fine! If I lose, I’ll give you a hundred dollars—and if you lose, you only owe me one! That’s gotta be fair!”
The old man thinks for a sec… then sighs. “Alright… but I go first.”
“Deal!” the professor says, already picturing his victory lap.
The old man leans in and asks:
“What’s got five heads, forty feet, and lives in a bucket?”
The professor’s brain goes into overdrive. He scribbles notes, mutters to himself, even checks the overhead bins—nothing makes sense! After an hour of mental gymnastics, he finally throws in the towel.
Grumbling, he hands over $100.
Then he snaps: “Okay, fine—what is the answer?!”
The old man shrugs with a twinkle in his eye:
“Beats me! Here’s your dollar.”
