Subject: Blonds are not as dumb as lawyers

A lawyer and a blonde woman are sitting next to each other
on a long flight from LA to NY. The lawyer leans over to
her, and asks if she would like to play a fun game. The
blonde is tired, and just wants to take a nap, so she
politely declines, and rolls over to the window to catch a
few winks. The lawyer persists, saying that the game is
really easy and a lot of fun.

He explains how the game works: "I ask you a question, and,
if you don't know the answer, you pay me, and vice-versa."

Again, she politely declines, and tries to get some sleep.

The chauvinistic lawyer figures that, since his opponent
is a blonde, he will easily win the match, so he makes
another offer:

"Okay, how about this: "If you don't know the answer, you
pay me only $5, but, if I don't know the answer, I will pay
you $50."

This catches the blonde's attention, and, figuring that
there will be no end to this torment unless she plays,
she agrees to play 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 in to 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 with three 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 Airphone with his modem and searches the Net
and even the Library of Congress. Frustrated, he sends
e-mails to all his co-workers and friends he knows. All to
no avail.

After over an hour of searching for the answer, he finally
gives up. 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 frustrated, wakes the
blonde and asks, "Well, so what IS the answer?"

Again without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse,
hands the lawyer $5, and goes back to sleep.
