Strangers on a train

[altyfc]

A scientist gets on a train to go to New York. His cabin also has a poor farmer in it. To pass the time the scientist decides to play a game with the guy.

"I will ask you a question and if you get it wrong, you have to pay me one dollar. Then you ask me a question, and if I get it wrong, you get ten dollars. You ask me a question first." The farmer thinks for a while.

"I know. What has three legs, takes ten hours to climb up a palm tree, and ten seconds to get back down?" The scientist is confused and thinks long and hard about the question. Finally, the train ride is coming to an end. As it pulls into the station, the scientist takes out ten dollars and gives it to the farmer.

"I don''t know. What has three legs, takes ten hours to get up a palm tree and ten seconds to get back down?"

The farmer takes the ten dollars and puts it into his pocket. He then takes out one dollar and hands it to the scientist.

"I don''t know."

Hahaha, good one.

Now its my turn:

A lonely man decides he wants a pet, so off he goes to te nearest pet shop. He tells the shop keeper that he wants an unusual pet, and eventually walks away with a millipede. Soon the man decides he wants to take the millipede out and shouts to it, 'Hey, do you want to go to the bar for a drink?' He get no response and shouts again. Again no response. Eventually, the man gets annoyed and leans down to the millipede and shouts even louder. The millipede looks up and replies, 'I heard you the first time, im just putting on my shoes'. . I know i know, kind of cheesy.

Speaking of millipede...

So there's these 3 friends drinking one night... a snail, cricket and a millipede. When the beer was almost dry, they talked among themselve as to who will got out and buy the beer. The snail said that it would took him a day to go to the store and a day back. The cricket replied, he can't go also because the beer will spill over when he jumps... Finally they all agreed that the millipede will go out and buy the beer. 3 hours later the millipede has not returned yet so the snail and the cricket got worried. They went outside the door to find out. Upon reaching the front door they saw the millipede still putting on his shoes.
