The Lawyer and the Senior Citizen

[Compass Rose]

A lawyer and a senior citizen are sitting next 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 a question, 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 and 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 the references he can find, on the internet.

He sends E-mails out to all of his smart friends; 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.
