If you’ve ever flown on a long flight, you know how hard it is to sleep anyhow. Even in the best of circumstances, the seats are so uncomfortable that going to sleep is nearly impossible. Then, if you get to sleep, you’re going to wake up with a very sore neck. The last thing you need is someone pestering you when you try to sleep on a plane. But if you add to that frustration a nosy, sneaky, and irritating attorney, it’s even worse. I’ve never known a lawyer who didn’t think he was smarter than me and anyone else I happened to be around at the same time. They go to school for a long time and have to memorize a lot of stuff, so I know they’re smart, but do they have to be so annoying about it? Enjoy this hilarious joke below where a woman gets the best of a lawyer.
A woman and a lawyer were seated next to each other on a flight from LA to NY. The lawyer asked if she would like to play a fun game. The woman, tired, just wanted to take a nap, politely declined and rolled over to the window to catch a few winks.
The lawyer persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun. He explained, “I ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and vice versa.”
Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep. 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, figuring there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, agrees to the game.
The lawyer asks the first question. “What’s the distance from the earth to the moon?”
The woman doesn’t say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill and hands it to the lawyer. “Okay,” says the lawyer, “your turn”.
She asks the lawyer, “What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?” The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references, no answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the net and the library of congress, no answer. Frustrated, he sends e-mail to all his friends and coworkers, to no avail. After an hour, he wakes the woman and hands her $500.00.
The woman says, “Thank you,” and turns back to get some more sleep.
The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the woman and asks, “Well, what’s the answer?”
Without a word, the woman reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes back to sleep.
