On long plane trip, a woman is sitting next to a lawyer. She wants to sleep, but the lawyer does not stop talking...
"Let's play a game" - he suggests.
The woman ignores him.
"To make it interesting" - he continues - "if I answer incorrectly to your question, I'll pay you $50. If you answer incorrectly to my question, you pay me $5."
Again she ignores him and lays her head on the window.
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 woman's attention and figures that there will be no end to this torment unless she plays.
The woman agrees, and the lawyer asks the first question.
"What is the distance between Earth and the Moon?"
The woman doesn't say a word, reaches in her purse and hands him $5. and says "now it's your turn"
She asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?"
The lawyer is astonished. He frantically surfs the Internet, searches his pocket encyclopedia and emails his scientist friends. He finds nothing. Hours later, when finally giving up looking for the answer, he wakes the woman, hands her $500 The woman says "Thank you" and turns back to get some more sleep.
The Lawyer, who is little bit more than miffed, wakes the woman up and asks,
"So, what is the answer?"
Without saying a word, she reaches in her purse, hands him $5 and goes back to sleep.
