The Blonde and the Lawyer

A lawyer and a blonde happen to be sitting next to each other on a long cross-country flight. The lawyer thinks that the woman MUST be dumb…since she is a blonde. So, he leans over to her and asks if she would like to play a fun game (thinking it’d be an easy way to make some money).

The game goes like this: I ask you a question, and 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.”

Well, the blonde just happens to be highly intelligent, but…she is dead-tired. However, the offer of money catches the blonde’s attention and, figuring that she’ll never get to take a nap unless she plays, she 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 aword, reaches into 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 back down with four?

The lawyer looks at her witha puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all his resources. 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 colleagues and friends, trying to get some help. 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 cannot imagine what the answer is, is going nuts trying to figure it out. He wakes the blonde again and asks: Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes back down with four?

The blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5, and goes back to sleep.
