Blondinen og advokaten (The blonde and the laywer)
A lawyer and a blonde woman are sitting next to each other on a long
flight. The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game. The
blonde is tired and just wants to take a nap, so she politely declines
and tries to catch a few winks.
The lawyer persists that the game is a lot of fun. "I ask you a
question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5. You ask
me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500."
This catches the blonde's attention; and, to keep him quiet, she agrees
to play 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 uses his laptop
and searches all references. He uses the Airphone; he searches the Net
and even the Library of Congress. He sends e-mails to all the smart
friends he knows, all to no avail.
After one hour of searching, he finally gives up. He wakes up the blonde
and hands her $500. The blonde takes the $500 and goes back to sleep.
The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes her up and
asks, "Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with
four?"
The blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5 and goes back to
sleep.
