>>A lawyer and a senior citizen are sitting next to each other on a long flight.
>>
>>The lawyer is thinking that pensioners are so dumb that he could get one over
>>on them easily.
>>
>>
>>So, the lawyer asks if the pensioner would like to play a fun game.
>>
>>The pensioner 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 £5.00. Then you
>>ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you £500.00," he says.
>>
>>This catches the pensioner'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 pensioner doesn't say a word, but reaches into his pocket, pulls out a
>>five-Pound note, and hands it to the lawyer.
>>
>>Now, it's the pensioner's turn. He asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with
>>three legs, and comes down with four?"
>>
>>The lawyer uses his laptop to search all references he can 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 pensioner and hands him £500.00. The pensioner pockets the
>>£500.00 and goes right back to sleep.
>>
>>The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the pensioner up
>>and asks, "Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with
>>four?"
>>
>>The pensioner reaches into his pocket, hands the lawyer £5.00, and goes back
>>to sleep.
>>
>>
>>
>>You know you're going to send this one on.
