The Programmer, now somewhat agitated, says, "O.K., if you don't know the answer you pay me $5 and if I don't know the answer I pay you $50!" Now, that got the Engineer's attention, so he agrees to the game. The Programmer asks the first question, "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" Then Engineer doesn't say a word and just hands the Programmer $5.

Now, its the Engineer's turn. He asks the Programmer,"What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down on four?" The Programmer looks at him with a puzzled look, takes out his laptop computer, looks through all his references and after about an hour wakes the Engineer and hands the Engineer $50. The Engineer politely takes the $50 turns away and tries to return to sleep.

The Programmer, a little miffed, asks, "Well what's the answer to the question?" Without a word, the Engineer reaches into his wallet, hands $5 to the Programmer, turns away and returns to sleep.

As methane has been determined to be flammable, it shall henceforth be illegal to fart in any motor vehicle while such motor vehicle is in motion. In addition, it shall be illegal to set any motor vehicle in motion so long as the fumes produced by a prior fart are detectable in said motor vehicle. The determination that fumes are no longer present shall be made by someone other than the individual who produced the fart, as it has been experimentally verified that people are apparently quite immune to the effects of their own farts.

In addition to the usual fine for such offenses, anyone stopped by a law enforcement official and found guilty of this infraction shall be fined an additional $50 - $100 (depending on the potency of the fart) for causing said law enforcement official excessive nasal discomfort.
