He explains, ?I ask you a question, and if you don?t know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and vise versa.?
Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer, now agitated, says, ?Okay, if you don?t know the answer you pay me $5.00, and if I don?t know the answer, I will pay you $500.00.? This catches the blonde?s attention and, figur*ing there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, 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 $5.00 bill and hands it to the lawyer.
?Okay,? says the lawyer,? your turn.? She asks the lawyer, ?What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?? The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references. No answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the Internet and the Library of Congress. No answer. Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworkers, to no avail. After an hour, he wakes the blonde and hands her $500.00.
The blonde says, ?Thank you,? puts her head on the pillow and goes back to sleep.
The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks, ?Well, what?s the answer?? Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes back to sleep.
