A lawyer and a redneck are sitting next to
each other on a long flight. The lawyer asks if the redneck
would like to play a fun game. The redneck is tired and just wants
to take a nap, so he 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 redneck's attention and to
keep the lawyer quiet, agrees to play the game.
The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from
the earth to the moon?" The redneck doesn't say a word, reaches in
his pocket pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.
Now, it's the redneck's turn. He asks the lawyer,
"What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down
with four?"
The lawyer uses his laptop, 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
redneck and hands him $500. The redneck pockets the $500 goes right
back to sleep.
The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the
answer. He wakes the redneck up and asks, "Well, so what goes
up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?"
The redneck reaches in his pocket, hands the lawyer $5 and goes back to sleep.
