The lawyer and the senior citizen
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 easily.
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 $5.00.
Then you ask me one, and if I don't know the
answer, I will pay you $500.00," 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 to search all
references he can 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 $500.00.
The senior pockets the $500.00 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 $5.00, and goes back to sleep.
