A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight
from Los Angeles to New York.
The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game. The blonde,
tired, just wants to take a nap, so she politely declines and leans
toward the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists and
explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun.
He says, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer,
you pay me five dollars, and vice 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, agrees to the game.
The lawyer asks the first question: "What is the distance from the
earth to the moon?"
The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a
$5 bill, and hands it to the lawyer.
"Okay", says the lawyer, "your turn."
She asks, "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... no answer. He taps into the air phone with his
modem and searches the internet and the Library of Congress...
no answer. Frustrated, he sends emails to all his friends and
coworkers but to no avail.
After an hour, he wakes the blonde and hands her $500.
The blonde thanks him and turns back to get some more sleep.
The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, stirs the blonde and
asks, "Well, what's the answer??"
Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the
lawyer $5, and goes back to sleep.
