The lawyer and the blonde

A lawyer and a blonde girl 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 he's pretty smart and 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 his references.
He taps into the Air-phone with his modem and searches the Internet and
even the Library of Congress. Frustrated he sends E-mails to all his
co-workers
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 can't believe he's been outsmarted by a
blonde, is going nuts trying to figure it out. He's more than a little
frustrated!
He wakes the blonde again 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.
