A woman and a lawyer were seated next to each other on a long flight
from LA to NY. The lawyer asked her, if she would like to play a really fun game.
The woman, tired, just wanted to take a nap.
She politely declined and rolled over to the window to catch a few winks.
The lawyer persisted and explained that the game is easy and a lot of fun.
He explained, “I'll ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer,
you have to pay me $5.00, and vice versa.”
Again, she declined and tried to get some sleep.
The lawyer, now agitated, says, “Okay, if you don’t know the answer
you pay me $5.00, and if I don’t know the answer, I will pay you $500.00.”
This catches the woman’s attention and, figuring there will be
no end to this torment unless she agrees to play, so she nods in assent.
The lawyer asks the first question. “What’s the distance from the earth to the moon?”
The woman doesn’t say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill
and hands it to the lawyer. “Okay,” says the lawyer, “Now it's your turn.”
She asks the lawyer, “What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?”
The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop and searches all his references. No answer.
He searches the net and the library of congress. No answer. Frustrated, he sends an
email to his friends and coworkers to no avail. After a frantic hour, he wakes the woman,
and rather reluctantly, hands over to her, (5) crisp, $100 Benjamins....
The woman says, “Thank you,” and turns back again, to get some more sleep.
The lawyer, who by this time, more than a little miffed,
wakes the woman up and asks, “Well, what’s the answer?”
Without a word, the woman reaches into her purse,
and hands the lawyer a $5.00 bill, and goes back to sleep.
