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. 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 references. He uses the
Airphone; he searches the Net and even the Library of Congress. He
sends e-mails to all the smart friends he knows, 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.
