A lawyer and a China man are sitting next to each other on a long
flight.
The lawyer is thinking that all China men are so dumb that he could get
over on them, easy.
So the lawyer asks if the China man would like to play a fun game. The
China man is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely
declines, and tries to catch a few winks.
The 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 China man'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 China man 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 China man'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 China man and hands him
$500. The China man pockets the $500 and goes right back to sleep.
The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the China man up again
and asks, 'Well, so what the hell goes up a hill with three legs and comes
down with four?!'
The China man reaches in his pocket, hands the lawyer $5 and goes back
to sleep.
Don't mess with the China man!
