And now, for $1,000…..

A man says to his friend, “I have two questions that I will ask you. One question is extremely easy to answer, while the other one is extremely difficult to answer. If you answer the first question correctly, I will give you $500. If you answer BOTH questions correctly, you will be given $1,000. Do you understand?” The friend nods affirmatively.

Continuing, the man says, “OK, which question would you like first? The very easy question, or the very difficult one?”

“I’ll try the very easy question,” says his friend.

“OK,” says the questioner. “Here’s your very easy question: ‘In what year did this happen?’”

The friend was puzzled. “In what year did WHAT happen?” he asked.

“Don’t get ahead of me,” the questioner responded, “Answer the easy question, first.”
