>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 could get one over on them easy.
>
>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. Then you ask 
>me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay 
>you $500, 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, 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 and searches all references 
>he could find on the Net.
>
>He sends e-mails 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 $500. The senior 
>pockets the $500 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 and goes back to sleep.
>
>You know you're gonna send this one on . . .
