An Igbo chick found herself sitting next to a lawyer on an airplane. Bored, the lawyer kept bugging the chick, wanting her to play a game of intelligence (lawyers like easy prey).
Finally, the lawyer offered her 10 to 1 odds, said every time the Igbo chick could not answer one of his questions she owed him N5,000(five thousand naira), but every time he could not answer hers, he’d give her N50.000(fifty thousand naira). The lawyer figured he could not lose, and the Igbo chick reluctantly accepted.
The lawyer first asked, “What is the distance between the Earth and the nearest star?” Without saying a word the Igbo chick handed him N5,000.
The Igbo chick then asked, “What goes up the sky with 3 legs and comes back down the sky with 4 legs?”
The lawyer looked puzzled. He spent nearly an hour, looking up everything he could on his laptop and even placing numerous air-to-ground phone calls, trying to find the answer. Finally, angry and frustrated, he gave up and paid the Igbo chick N50,000
The Igbo chick put the N50,000 into her purse without comment, but the lawyer insisted, “What is the answer to your question?”
Without having any clue to the answer herself, she dint say a word, she just handed him N5,000 and left.
