The lawyer persists and explains that the game is really easy, and a lot of fun! He explains, "I ask you a question and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5, and visa versa." Again, she politely declines, and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer, now somewhat agitated says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $50" (figuring that since she is a blonde, he will easily win the match). This catches the blonde's attention. Believing there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, she agrees to the game.
The lawyer asks the first question. 'What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The blonde doesn't say a word. She just reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5 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 with four?" The lawyer looks at her with a puzzled look. As she turns back toward the window, he takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references. He taps into the Airphone with his modem, and searches the Net and the Library of Congress. Frustrated, he sends an e-mail to all his coworkers and friends he knows. All to no avail. After nearly two hours of searching, he wakes the blonde and hands her $50. The blond politely takes the $50 and then turns away to get back to sleep.
The lawyer, who is more that a little miffed asks the blond, "Well, so WHAT IS the answer?!" Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5, and goes back to sleep.
