A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight

The absolutely worst thing that can happen on a flight is getting stuck sitting next to someone who wants to talk when all you want to do is rest.

Politeness only gets you so far with an irritating chatterbox neighbor. Sometimes, you just have to play the game and win if you want them to stop annoying you. And that's exactly what the lady in this joke did. Enjoy!

A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from LA to NY. The lawyer asks the lady if she would like to play a fun game.

The blonde, exhausted from a day of meetings, just wants to take a nap. She declines politely and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.

But the lawyer, not good with taking no for an answer and knowing he has a captive audience who can't go anywhere for the next 6 hours, persists and explains that the game is 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 vise versa." Again, she declines and tries to go back to sleep.

The lawyer, now agitated, 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 $500.00."

This new challenge catches the blonde's attention and, figuring there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, 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, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill and hands it to the lawyer.

"Okay," says the lawyer," your turn." She asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?"

The lawyer is completely puzzled.

He takes out his laptop and searches all his references. No answer. Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworkers, to no avail. He asks the air hostesses and other passengers but nobody knows.

After an hour, he wakes the blonde and hands her $500.00. The blonde says, "Thank you," puts her head back on the pillow and goes back to sleep.

The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed now, wakes the blonde again and asks, "Well, what's the answer?" Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes right back to sleep.
