A lawyer and an elderly Jewish man are sitting
next to each other on a long flight. The lawyer is
thinking that Jews are so dumb that he could
trick him easily, so the lawyer asks
if the Jew would he like to play a fun game.
The old Jewish man is tired and just wants to
take a nap, so he politely declines and tries
to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists, and
says that the game is a lot of fun. I ask you a
question, and if you don't know the answer, you
pay me $5; you ask me one, and if I don't
know the answer, I will pay you $500, he says.
This catches the Jew'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
elderly Jew doesn't say a word, reaches in his
pocket pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to
the lawyer.
Now, it' the Jew'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 one hour of searching he finally gives up. He wakes up the
Jewish man and hands him $500. The old Jew pockets
the $500 and goes right back to sleep.
The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer..
He wakes the elderly Jew up and asks, 'Well, so
what goes up a hill with three legs and comes
down with four?"
The Jew shrugs, reaches in his pocket, hands
the lawyer $5 and goes back to sleep.
