> A lawyer and a senior citizen are sitting next to each other on a long flight.
>
> The lawyer is thinking that seniors are so dumb that he could get one
> over on them easy.
>
> So the lawyer asks if the senior would like to play a fun game.
>
> The senior is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely
> declines and tries to catch a few winks.
>
> The lawyer persists, saying 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. Then you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay
> you $500, he says.

>
> This catches the senior'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 senior doesn't say a word, but reaches into his pocket, pulls out
> a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.
>
> Now it's the senior'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 can find on the Net.
>
> He sends e-mails to all the smart friends he knows; all to no
> avail. After an hour of searching, he finally gives up.
>
> He wakes the senior and hands him $500. The senior pockets the $500
> and goes right back to sleep.
>
> The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the senior
> up and asks, 'Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes
> down with four?'
>
> The senior reaches into his pocket, hands the lawyer $5, and goes
