A lawyer and a senior citizen are sitting
next to each other on a long flight.
The
lawyer is thinking that seniors are so dumb that he could
get one over on them easy.
So the lawyer asks if the senior would like to
play a fun game.
The senior is tired and just
wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few
winks.
The lawyer persists saying that the game is a lot of fun. I
ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5.
Then you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you
$500, he says.
This catches the senior's attention and to keep the lawyer
quiet, he agrees to play the game.
The lawyer asks the first question.
'What's the distance from the Earth to the Moon?'
The senior
doesn't say a word, but reaches into his pocket, pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.
Now it's
the senior's turn. He asks the lawyer, 'What goes up a hill with three
legs, and comes down with four?'
The lawyer uses his laptop and searches
all references he could find on the Net.
He sends e-mails to all the
smart friends he knows; all to no avail.
After an hour of searching,
he finally gives up.
He wakes the senior and hands him $500. The
senior pockets the $500 and goes right back to sleep.
The lawyer is going
nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the senior up and asks, 'Well, so
what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?'
The senior
reaches into his pocket, hands the lawyer $5 and goes back to
sleep.
