Who's smarter...the redneck or the lawyer?
A lawyer and a redneck are sitting next to each other on a long flight.
The
lawyer asks if the redneck would like to play a fun game. The redneck is
tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to
catch a few winks. The lawyer persists, 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;
you ask
me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500.
This catches the redneck's attention and to keep the lawyer quiet,
agrees to
play the game.
The lawyer asks the first question.
"What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The redneck doesn't
say a
word, reaches in his pocket pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it
to the
lawyer.
Now, it's the redneck's turn. He asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill
with
three legs, and comes down with four?"
The lawyer uses his laptop, searches all references. He uses the Air
phone;
he searches the Net and even the Library of Congress. He sends e-mails
to all
the smart friends he knows, all to no avail. After one hour of searching
he
finally gives up. He wakes up the redneck and hands him $500. The
redneck
pockets the $500 goes right back to sleep.
The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the redneck up
and
asks, "Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with
four?"
The redneck reaches in his pocket, hands the lawyer $5 and goes back to
sleep.
