Intelligence Game
A blonde was sitting next to a lawyer on an airplane and got to talking to each other. They were both bored by the long flight so they decided to play what the lawyer called a ‘game of intelligence’.
The lawyer offered her 10 to 1 odds and said that every time the blonde was not able to answer a question of his she would pay him $5. Every time he would not answer his he would give her $50.
Naturally the lawyer was confident in his ability and the blonde reluctantly agreed. The lawyer was the first to ask a question, “What is the distance between the Earth and the nearest star?”
Without saying a word the blonde handed him $5. then the blonde asked, “What goes up a hill with 3 legs and comes back down the hill with 4 legs?”
Well, the lawyer looked puzzled. He took several hours, looking up everything he could on his laptop and even placing numerous air-to-ground phone calls trying to find the answer. Finally, angry and frustrated, he gave up and paid the blonde $50.00.
The blonde put the $50 into her purse without comment, but the lawyer insisted, “What is the answer to your question?”
Without saying a word, the blonde handed him $5.
