flight. The lawyer believes that Nigerians are so dumb that he could put
something over on them easily...So the lawyer asks if the Nigerian would
like to play a fun game.
The Nigerian is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines
and tries to catch a few winks. The American 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 Nigerian'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 Nigerian
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 Nigerian'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 Nigerian and hands him
$500. The Nigerian pockets the $500 and goes right back to sleep.
The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the Nigerian up
and asks, 'Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with
four?'
The Nigerian reaches in his pocket, hands the lawyer $5 and goes back to
sleep.
