Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer
$5, and
goes back to sleep.
The lawyer persists and explains that the game is really easy and a
lot of
fun. He explains: "I ask you a question, and if you don't know
the answer,
you pay me $5, and visa-versa."
Again, she politely declines and tries to get some sleep.
The lawyer, now somewhat agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the
answer you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you
$50."
figuring that since she is a blonde that he will easily win the match.
This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring that there will be
no end
to this torment until she plays, she agrees to the game.
The lawyer asks the first question: "What's the distance from the earth
to
the moon?"
The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a
five-dollar bill and hands it to the lawyer.
Now, it's the blonde's turn. She asks the lawyer: "What goes up
a hill
withthree legs, and comes down with four?"
The lawyer looks at her with a puzzled look. He takes out his
laptop
computer and searches all his references. He taps into the digital
cellphone via infra-red wireless connection to his modem port and searches
the `Net and the Library of Congress. Frustrated, he sends E-mail
to all
his co-workers, friends, clients, and suppliers that he knows, and
then
some. All to no avail.
After more than an hour, he wakes the blonde and hands her $50.
The blonde
politely takes the $50 and turns away to get back to sleep.
The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the again blonde
and
asks, "Well? What IS the answer?"
Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer
$5, and
goes back to sleep.
