A lawyer and a blonde
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.
