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 further, saying, "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 $5.00, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $50.00."
This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring that there will be no end to this torment 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 a word, 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 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 digital cell-phone via infra-red wireless connection to his modem port and searches the Net and the Library of Congress.
Frustrated, he sends E-mail to all his co-workers, friends, clients, and suppliers that he knows, and then some. All to no avail.
After over an hour of fruitless searching, he wakes the blonde and hands her a fifty dollar bill. The blonde politely takes the $50.00, and turns away to go back to sleep.
The lawyer, who is more than a little upset, nudges the blonde and asks, "Well, so what IS the answer?"
Without a word, the blonde hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes back to sleep.
