A
blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from Los Angeles
to New York. The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game? The blonde,
tired, just wants to take a nap, politely declines and rolls over to the window
to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists and explains that the game is easy
and a lot of fun. He explains, "I ask you a question, and if you don't
know the answer, you pay me .00, and vise versa."
Again,
she declines and tries to get some sleep.
The
lawyer, now agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer you pay
me .00, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you .00."
This
catches the blonde's attention and, figuring 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 into her purse, pulls out a .00 bill and
hands it to the lawyer. "Okay, " says the lawyer, "your turn".
She
asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with
four legs?"
The
lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references,
no answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the net and
the library of congress, no answer. Frustrated, he sends e-mail to all his friends
and coworkers, to no avail. After an hour, he wakes the blonde, and hands her
.00.
The
blonde says, "Thank you," and turns back to get some more sleep.
The
lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks, "Well,
what's the answer?"
Without
a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer .00, and goes
back to sleep.
