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 somewhat 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 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 Airphone
with his modem and searches the Net and the Library of Congress. Frustrated, he sends
E-mails to all his coworkers and friends he knows. 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.
