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