A lawyer and a blonde woman are sitting next to each
other on a long flight. The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game.
The blonde is tired and just wants to take a nap, so
she politely declines and tries to catch a few winks.
The lawyer persists that the game is a lot of fun. "I
ask you a question and if you don't know the answer, you pay
me only $5; you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500."
This catches the blonde's attention; and to keep him
quiet, she agrees to play the game.The lawyer asks the first question:
"What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The blonde doesn't say a word,
reaches in to her purse, pulls out a five-dollar bill and hands it to the lawyer.
Now, it's the blonde's turn. She asks the lawyer,
"What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?"The lawyer uses his laptop, searches all the references.He uses the Airphone;he..... searches the
Net and even the Library of Congress. He sends e-mails
to all his smart friends he knows, but all to no avail.
After one hour of searching he finally gives up. He
wakes up the blonde and hands her $500.The blonde takes the $500
and goes back to sleep. The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes her up and asks,"Well, so what goes up a hill with three
legs and comes down with four?"
The blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5 and goes back to sleep.
