The Rabbi & The Lawyer

A Lawyer and a Rabbi happen to be sitting next to each other on a flight from London to New York. The lawyer leans over to him and asks if he would like to play a fun game. The Rabbi is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.

The lawyer persists, saying that the game is really easy and a lot of fun. He explains how the game works. 'I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me, and vice-versa.'

Again, the Rabbi politely declines and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer figures that, since his opponent is a poor Rabbi, he (the lawyer) will easily win this game, so he makes another offer. 'Okay, how about this? If you don't know the answer, you pay me only five pounds, but if I don't know the answer, I will pay you five hundred pounds.'

The streetwise Rabbi wakes up at the mention of such a figure, so he agreed to play the game.

The lawyer asks the first question. 'What's the distance from the earth to the moon?' The Rabbi doesn't say a word; instead he reaches into his wallet, pulls out a five pound note, and hands it to the lawyer.

Now, it's the Rabbi's turn. He asks the lawyer: 'What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?' The lawyer looks at him with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop and searches all his references. He taps into the Air-phone with his modem and searches the Internet and even the Library of Congress. Frustrated, he sends quick e-mails to all his co-workers and the friends he knows, all to no avail. After an hour of searching for the answer, he finally gives up. He wakes the snoring Rabbi man and hands him five hundred pounds. He takes the money and turns away to get back to sleep. The lawyer, who cannot imagine what the answer is, and is going nuts trying to figure it out, is more than a little frustrated!

He wakes the Rabbi again and asks.

'Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?' The Rabbi reaches into his wallet, hands the lawyer five pounds and goes back to sleep with a smile on his face.
