A blonde woman and a lawyer happen to be sitting next to each other on a long
flight from L. A. to New York. The lawyer leans over to her and 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 rolls over to the window to catch a few
winks. The lawyer persists, saying that the game is really easy and a lot of
fun.
He explains how the game works. .
"I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me,
and vice-versa." Again, the blonde politely declines and tries to get
some sleep. The lawyer figures that since his opponent is a blonde he
will easily win the match, so he makes another offer. Okay, how about
this. If you don't know the answer you pay me only $5, but if I don't
know the answer, I will pay you 500."
This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring that there will be no
end to this torment unless she plays, 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 looks at her with
a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all the
references. He taps into the Air-phone with his modem and searches the
Net and even the Library of Congress. Frustrated he sends E-mails to all
his coworkers and friends he knows. All to no avail. After over an
hour of searching for the answer he finally gives up. He wakes the
blonde and hands her $500.
The blonde politely takes the $500 and turns away to get back to sleep.
The lawyer, who cannot imagine what the answer is , and is going nuts
trying to figure it out, is more than a little frustrated!
He wakes up the blonde 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.
