A lawyer and a redhead are sitting next to each other on a long flight fron LA to NY. The lawyer leans over to her and asks if she would like to play a fun game. The redhead just wants to sleep and politely declines.
The lawyer persists and explains the game is really quite easy and a lot of fun. He explains "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and visa-versa." Again, the redhead politely declines to play.
The lawyer, now somewhat aggitated, 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 $50.00", figuring that since she is a redhead he will easily win the match. This catches the redheads' attention and, figuring that there will be no peace until she plays, she agrees to the match.
The lawyer asks the first question: "What's the distance from the Earth top the Moon?" The redhead doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a five-dollar bill and hands it to the lawyer.
Now it's the redheads' 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. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all hs references. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the net and the Library of congress. Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his lawyer friends and coworkers -- but to no avail.
After over an hour, he wakes up the redhead and hands her $50.00. The redhead politely takes the $50.00 and turns away to go back to sleep.
The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes up the redhead and asks "Well, so what is the answer?" Without saying a word, the redhead reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5.00 and goes back to sleep.
