A lawyer and a senior citizen are sitting next to each other on a long flight. The lawyer is thinking that seniors are so dumb that he can get one over on them easy. So, the lawyer asks the senior if he 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.
But, 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. Then you ask me a question, if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $100. 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 , pulls out a five dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.
Now, it's the senior's turn. He askes the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with 3 legs and comes down with 4?"
The lawyer uses his laptop and searches all references he can find on the net. He sends emails to all the smart friends he knows; all to no avail. After an hour of searching, he finally gives up. He wakes the senior and hands him $100.
The senior pockets the money and goes right back to sleep.
The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the senior and asks, "Well, so what goes up a hill with 3 legs and comes down with 4?"
The senior hands the lawyer $5 and goes back to sleep.
