A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a long flight. After takeoff, the lawyer turns to her and says, “Want to play a game? It’s simple: you ask me a question, and if I get it wrong or can’t answer, I’ll give you five dollars. Then I ask you a question, and if you get it wrong, you pay me five dollars.”
She shakes her head. “No thanks, I just want to get some sleep.”
But the lawyer is persistent. He sweetens the deal: “Alright, how about this? If I get it wrong, I’ll give you five hundred dollars, but if you get it wrong, you still only owe me five.”
Now interested, the blonde agrees.
The lawyer goes first. “How far is it from the Earth to the Moon?”
Without hesitation, she hands him five dollars.
Then it’s her turn. She asks, “What goes up a hill with four legs and comes down with five?”
Puzzled, the lawyer pulls out his laptop, scours the internet, and even emails his colleagues. After an hour of searching with no luck, he sighs, gives up, and hands her five hundred dollars.
“Alright,” he says, “what’s the answer?”
She smiles, hands him five dollars, and goes back to sleep.
