A lawyer and a Chinese are sitting next to each other on a long flight.
The lawyer is thinking that all Chinese are so dumb that he could get
over on them, easy.
So the lawyer asks if the Chinese would like to play a fun game. The
Chinese is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely
declines, and tries to catch a few winks. The 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
Chinese'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 Chinese 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 Chinese'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 Chinese and hands him
$500. The Chinese pockets the $500 and goes right back to sleep. The
lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the Chinese up
and asks, 'Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?
The Chinese reaches in his pocket, hands the lawyer $5 and goes back
to sleep.
Don't mess with the Chinese! Have a nice week ahead!!!!
