Gordon was an attorney—and a very smart one too.
Harold was a lawyer too—and very intelligent as well.
Once they got seated next to each other on a flight from LA to NY.
Gordon asks if Harold would like to play a fun game?
Harold, tired, just wants to take a nap, politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. Gordon 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, Harold declines and tries to get some sleep.
Gordon, 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 Harold’s attention and, figuring there will be no end to this torment unless he plays, agrees to the game.
Gordon asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?"
Harold doesn't say a word, reaches into his wallet, pulls out a $5.00 bill and hands it to Gordon.
Okay says Gordon, your turn.
Harold asks, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?"
Gordon, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references, no answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the net and the library of congress, no answer. Frustrated, he sends emails to all his friends and coworkers at the NYTimes, to no avail. After an hour, he wakes Harold, and hands him $500.00.
Harold says, "Thank you," and turns back to get some more sleep.
Gordon, who is more than a little miffed, wakes Harold and asks, "Well, what's the answer?"
Without a word, Harold reaches into his wallet, hands Gordon $5.00, and goes back to sleep.
Attorneys are so clever aren’t they?
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.
