The lawyer persists and explains that the game is real easy and is a lot of fun. He explains "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5. Then you ask me a question, and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you $5."
Again, the blonde politely declines and tries to get to sleep.
The lawyer, now somewhat agitated, says, "OK, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you $100!"
This catches the blonde’s attention, and she sees no end to this torment unless she plays, so she agrees to the game. The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The bonde doesn't say a word, but reaches into her wallet, pulls out a five dollar bill and hands it to the lawyer.
Now, it's the blonde’s turn. She asks the lawyer "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down on four?"
The lawyer looks up at her with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all of his references. He taps into the Airphone with his modem and searches the net and the Library of Congress. Frustrated, he sends e-mail to his co-workers--all to no avail.
After about an hour, he wakes the blonde and hands her $100. The blonde politely takes the $100 and turns away to try to get back to sleep. The lawyer, more than a little miffed, shakes the blonde and asks "Well, so what's the answer?" Without a word, the blonde reaches into her wallet, hands the lawyer $5, and turns away to get back to sleep.
