Just an FYI to you... Some of you may have heard this joke before; some have not. I just hope you enjoy it anyway.

And please, if you notice any things that need to be corrected or just want to give constructive critism, by all means do as you wish.

Oh, and by the way... I have no idea what the currency is in Shuggazoom, and for the sake of this story I used good ol' fashioned dollars. Just bear through it, please.

(And if you want, try to answer the riddle)

"Otto," Gibson tapped the green simian's metallic shoulder gently. "Let's play a game."

Otto yawned tiringly and sat up from the floor, rubbing his eyes. "A game?"

"Yes, an intellegence game," Gibson beamed, holding a dark blue pocket bag and putting it on the floor. "I'll try to explain this as briefly as I could; I ask you a question. If you answer wrong or don't know the answer, you give me five dollars. Then you do the same to me, and so forth."

"Nah... no thanks, Gibson," Otto mumbled, laying back on the floor. Gibson furrowed his brows, determined to win this battle.

The blue monkey closed his eyes thoughtfully, smiled, and, dependant on his own knowledge, said, "Alright... what about If I ask you a question, and you don't know, you give me five dollars. But if you ask me, and I don't know, then I give you twenty dollars."

Otto groaned a bit, knowing he wouldn't give up until he gave in. He sighed and muttered, "Alright."

Gibson watched Otto shuffle lazily out the room and come back in with a bright green wallet.

"First question," Gibson started as Otto sat back down. "What's the distance from Shuggazoom to the sun?"

Otto opened his mouth, but then closed it, pondered a bit, opened his wallet and handed him five dollars.

"Alright... your turn."

Otto took a deep breath, and then let it out. "Okay; What has four legs, jumps up, comes down with 3 legs, turns in a circle, and gains its four legs back?"

Gibson had already opened his mouth to cleverly answer the riddle, but in shock, closed it. He hesitated, tapping his tail a bit impatiently on the floor. He stood up and walked out, doing some research in the books, computers, and even asked each of the Hyperforce about it. Unfortunately, they all had to agree it was a difficult riddle, thus not being able to answer it.

This had gone on for about four hours, and a defeated Gibson took out his wallet and gave Otto the money.

Otto smiled and politely took it, lying down on his back to take another nap.

Dumbfounded, Gibson stared at his green team mate, waiting. Too long.

"Otto," Gibson found himself tugging at the other's tail, almost eager to finally know the answer to the riddle. "So what is the solution?"

Otto yawned again, gazed at the blue monkey, grabbed at his own wallet, and handed him five dollars.
