An Italian lawyer and an Irishman are sitting next to each other on a
long flight. The lawyer is thinking that Irishmen are so dumb that he
could put something over on them easily...So the lawyer asks if the
Irishman would like to play a fun game.
The Irishman is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely
declines and tries to catch a few winks. The Italian lawyer persists,
and says that the game is a lot of fun. I ask you a question, and if
you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5; you ask me one, and if
I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500, he says. This catches
the Irishman's attention and to keep the lawyer quiet, he agrees to
play the game.
The lawyer asks the first question. 'What's the distance from The
Earth to the Moon?' The Irishman doesn't say a word, reaches in his
pocket pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.
Now, it's the Irishman's turn. He asks the lawyer, 'What goes up a
hill with three legs, and comes down with four?' The lawyer uses his
laptop and searches all references he could find on the Net. He sends
e-mails to all the smart friends he knows, all to no avail. After one
hour of searching he finally gives up. He wakes up the Irishman and
hands him $500. The Irishman pockets the $500 and goes right back to
sleep.
The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the Irishman
up and asks, 'Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes
down with four?'
The Irishman reaches in his pocket, hands the lawyer $5 and goes back to
sleep.
Don't mess with the Irish.
