explained that the game is easy and a lot of fun. He explained, “I ask
you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and
vice versa.”
Again, she declined and tried to get some 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 catches the woman’s attention and, figuring there will be no end to
this torment unless she plays, she agrees to the game.
The lawyer asks the first question. “What’s the distance from the earth
to the moon?”
The woman 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, puzzled, takes out his laptop and searches all his
references. No answer. He searches the net and the library of congress.
No answer. Frustrated, he sends an email to his friends and coworkers to
no avail. After an hour, he wakes the woman, and hands her $500.00.
The woman says, “Thank you,” and turns back to get some more sleep.
The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the woman and asks,
“Well, what’s the answer?”
Without a word, the woman reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5.00,
and goes back to sleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The mother of a 17-year-old girl was concerned that her daughter was
having sex..
Worried the girl might become pregnant and adversely impact the family’s
status, she consulted the family doctor.
The doctor told her that teenagers today were very willful and any
attempt to stop the girl would probably result in rebellion. He then
told her to arrange for her daughter to be put on birth control and until
then, talk to her and give her a box of condoms.
Later that evening, as her daughter was preparing for a date, the mother
told her about the situation and handed her a box of condoms.
The girl burst out laughing and reached over to hug her mother, saying,
“Oh Mom! You don't have to worry about that! I'm dating Susan!”
