The Blonde & The Lawyer

A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from LA to New York.

The lawyer asks if she wants to play a game. Tired, the blonde declines and tries to nap.

The lawyer insists. “It’s simple,” he says. “I ask you a question. If you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5. If I don’t know, I pay you $5.”

Annoyed, the lawyer ups the stakes. “Fine. If you don’t know the answer, you pay $5. If I don’t know, I pay you $500.”

That gets her attention, so she agrees.

The lawyer asks, “What’s the distance from the Earth to the moon?”

Without a word, the blonde hands him $5.

“My turn,” she says. “What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?”

The lawyer searches his laptop, the internet, emails colleagues—nothing. After an hour, frustrated, he gives her $500.

She thanks him and goes back to sleep.

Still annoyed, the lawyer wakes her and asks, “So… what’s the answer?”

The blonde calmly hands him $5 and goes back to sleep.
