A girl found herself sitting next to a lawyer on an airplane. Bored, the lawyer kept bugging the girl wanting her to play a game of intelligence (lawyers like easy prey). Finally, the lawyer offered her 10 to 1 odds, said every time the girl could not answer one of his questions she owed him $5, but every time he could not answer hers he’d give her $50.00. The lawyer figured he could not lose, and the girl reluctantly accepted.
The lawyer first asked, “What is the distance between the Earth and the nearest star?” Without saying a word she handed him $5.
The girl then asked, “What goes up a hill with 3 legs and comes back down the hill with 4 legs?”
The lawyer looked puzzled. He spent nearly an hour, looking up everything he could on his laptop and even placing numerous air-to-ground phone calls, trying to find the answer. Finally, angry and frustrated, he gave up and paid the girl $50.00
The girl put the $50 into her purse without comment, but the lawyer insisted, “What is the answer to your question?”
Without saying a word, the girl handed him $5.
