*A lawyer and a senior citizen are sitting next to each other on a long flight.
*
The lawyer is thinking that seniors are so dumb that he could get one
over on them easily.
*
So, the lawyer asks if the senior would like to play a fun game.
The senior is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines
and tries to catch a few winks.
*
The lawyer persists, saying 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 $5.00. Then
you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500.00,"
he says.
*
This catches the senior's attention and, to keep the lawyer quiet, he
agrees to play the game.
*
The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the Earth to
the Moon?"
The senior doesn't say a word, but reaches into his pocket, pulls out a
five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.
Now, it's the senior's turn. He asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with
three legs, and comes down with four?"
The lawyer uses his laptop to search all references he can find on the Net.
He sends E-mails to all the smart friends he knows; all to no avail.
After an hour of searching, he finally gives up.
*
He wakes the senior and hands him $500.00. The senior pockets
the $500.00 and goes right back to sleep.
The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the senior up
and asks, "Well so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down
with four?"
The senior reaches into his pocket, hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes back
to sleep.
Don't mess with seniors
