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 explains 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 visa-versa." Again, she politely
declines and tries to get some sleep.
The lawyer, now some what 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 $50!"
figuring that since she is a blonde that he will easily win the match. 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 $5 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 Air phone with
his modem and searches the Net and the Library of Congress. Frustrated, he
sends e-mails to all his co-workers and friends. All to no avail.
After over an hour, he wakes the blonde and hands her $50. The blonde
politely takes the $50 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.
