Airplane rides are usually long, boring, and filled with either awkward silence or noisy passengers. But this particular flight from Los Angeles to New York turned into something unforgettable — and absolutely hilarious.
A Lawyer With Too Much Energy
Seated next to a tired blonde, a sharp-suited lawyer decided he didn’t want to waste the hours in silence. He leaned over with a mischievous smile and asked,
“Would you like to play a fun game?”
The blonde, exhausted and ready for a nap, shook her head politely. She turned toward the window, hoping for a peaceful sleep.
But lawyers, as we all know, don’t give up easily.
The Tempting Offer
The lawyer explained, “It’s simple. I’ll ask you a question. If you don’t know the answer, you give me $5. Then you ask me a question. If I don’t know, I’ll give you $500.”
Now, $500 was a lot of money to ignore. The blonde sighed, realizing this man would never stop until she agreed. So, with a sleepy nod, she joined the game.
The First Question
The lawyer began confidently, “What’s the distance from Earth to the Moon?”
The blonde didn’t argue. She didn’t even try. Quietly, she reached into her purse, pulled out a $5 bill, and handed it to him.
The lawyer smirked, feeling victory already.
The Blonde’s Turn
With calm eyes and a gentle smile, the blonde asked,
“What goes up a hill with three legs… and comes down with four?”
The lawyer froze. His confidence slipped. He pulled out his laptop. He searched every database, encyclopedia, and library. He even used the plane’s air phone to call for help. Emails flew out to friends, professors, coworkers.
But the answer? Nowhere to be found.
After an hour of sweating, the lawyer admitted defeat. He reached into his wallet and handed her $500.
The Final Twist
Satisfied, the blonde tucked the money away and closed her eyes to finally get some rest.
But the lawyer, unable to let it go, tapped her shoulder and asked desperately,
“Wait… what’s the answer?”
The blonde opened her purse, pulled out another $5, handed it to him quietly… and went back to sleep.
The lawyer sat there stunned, realizing he had just been outsmarted — in the simplest, funniest way.
The Moral of the Story
Sometimes, intelligence isn’t about knowing everything. It’s about playing smart, staying calm, and knowing when silence speaks louder than words.
