The Lawyer and the Senior

Sometimes, they're just too good not to add to a blog. I love lawyer stories.

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.
