A lawyer and a blonde are sitting next to each other on a long
flight from LA to NY. The lawyer leans over to her and asks if she
would like to play a fun game. The blonde just wants to take a nap,
so she politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few
winks.
The lawyer persists and says that the game is really 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 vice-versa." Again, she
politely declines and tries to get some sleep.
Figuring that since she is a blonde that he will easily win, the
lawyer,
now somewhat agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer you
pay
me $5, and if I don't know the answer that you'll ask me, 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, 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 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 his
references.He taps into the Airphone with his modem and searches the
Net
and the Library of Congress. Frustrated, he sends E-mails to all his
coworkers and friends. All to no avail. After over an hour, 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 is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and
asks,
"Well, so what IS the answer?"
Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5,
and goes back to sleep.
