A very knowledgeable modeler, but with a "know-it-all" arrogant attitude, challenged club members that he could answer any model related question. For a small $5.00 bet, he would go around and ask each member to ask one question. If he answered wrong, he would lose the bet and pay the $5.00. True to his words, he could answer all questions until finally no modeler would take up the challenge. Always on the lookout for a new victim, one day the arrogant modeler came across a new novice member. "I challenge you to take turns asking model-related questions," said the "know-it-all" modeler. "And since you are a newcomer to the hobby, if I can’t answer your question, I’ll pay you 100 dollars. However, if you can’t answer my question, you’ll only pay me 5 dollars." The novice just wanted to get on with his flying and refused the bet. But after repetitive, annoying words from the arrogant modeler, the novice just wanting to get this arrogant "know-it-all" off his back, accepted the bet. The novice asked his question first: "What airplane has five wings, three tails, and only one aileron. It is fitted with only an O.S. .28 but can go up to 150 mph?" After long thought, the arrogant modeler concluded for the first time, he did not know the answer and paid the novice $100. "So what’s the airplane called?", asked the arrogant modeler. "I don’t know either," said the novice. Then he handed over $5.00, pocketing the remaining $95.00 for himself, and got on with his flying! |
