A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on
a flight from LA to NY. The lawyer asks if she would
like to play a fun game, but the blonde is tired and
just wants to take a nap, so she politely declines.
She rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The
lawyer persists and explains that the game is easy and
a lot of fun.
He explains, "I ask you a question, and if you don't
know the answer, you pay me $5, and vise versa."
Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep.
The lawyer, now agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't
know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don't know the
answer, I will pay you $500." This catches the
blonde's attention and, figuring there will be no end
to this torment unless she plays, agrees to 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 into her purse,
pulls out a $5, and hands it to the lawyer. "OK," says
the lawyer, "Your turn."
She asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three
legs and comes down with four legs?" The lawyer,
puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches
all his references, but no answer. He taps into the
air phone with his modem and searches the net and the
library of congress, no answer. Frustrated, he sends
e-mails to all his friends and coworker, but to no
avail.
After an hour, he wakes the blonde, and hands her
$500. The blonde says, "Thank you." and turns back to
get some more sleep. The lawyer, who is more than a
little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks, "Well, what
goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with
four legs?"
Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse,
hands the lawyer $5 and goes back to sleep...
