On a flight from Los Angeles to New York, a lawyer and a blonde are sitting next to each other. Shall we play a game, says the lawyer, something lighthearted?
Exhausted, the blonde rolls over to the window to steal a quick wink and sweetly declines, just wanting to take a nap.
The attorney doesn’t give up and tells them that the game is simple and enjoyable.
“I ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and vice versa,” he says in clarification.
She says no once again and tries to go to sleep.
“All right, if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and if I don’t know the answer, I will pay you $500.00,” the irate lawyer declares.
The blonde notices this and decides to play, reasoning that she won’t be able to stop this suffering otherwise.
First questions are posed by the attorney. “How far away is the moon from the earth?”
Without saying anything, the blonde gets into her purse, takes out a $5 bill, and gives it to the attorney.
Okay, now it’s your turn, the attorney says.
“What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?” she asks the attorney.
Perplexed, the attorney pulls out his laptop and scans through all of his references, but finds nothing.
He uses his modem to connect to the air phone and searches the internet and the Library of Congress, but there are no results.
He emails all of his friends and coworkers out of frustration, but to no answer.
He wakes the blonde after an hour and gives her the $500.00.
“Thank you,” replies the blonde, before turning around to continue sleeping.
“Well, what’s the answer?” the irritated lawyer asks the blonde as he awakens her up.
The blonde gives the lawyer $5.00 without saying anything further, reaches into her handbag, and returns to her bed.
