A lawyer and a Mexican are sitting next to each other on a long flight.

> The lawyer persists, that the game is a lot of fun. 'I ask you a

> me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500.' This

> lawyer quiet, agrees to play the game.

> The lawyer asks the first question. 'What's the distance from the Earth
> to the moon?' The Mexican 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 Mexican's turn.
>
> He asks the lawyer, 'What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down
> with four?'

> The lawyer uses his laptop, searches all references. He uses the
> earphone; he searches the Net and even the Library of Congress. 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 Mexican and hands
> him $500. The Mexican pockets the $500 and goes right back to sleep. The
> lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the Mexican up and
> asks, 'Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with
> four?' The Mexican reaches in his pocket, hands the lawyer $5 and goes
> back to sleep.
