A lady who craves sleep is seated next to a lawyer on a long flight, but he keeps waking her up. “Let’s play a trivia game,” he suggests. “If I answer wrong, I’ll pay you $50. If you answer wrong, you owe me $5.” The lady agrees, and the lawyer goes first. “What’s the distance between the earth and the moon?” The lady hands the lawyer $5. Now it’s her turn. “What goes up a mountain on three legs and comes down on four?” The lawyer is dumbstruck. He scans the Internet, flips through his pocket encyclopedia, and texts every scientist he can find. No dice. Hours later, he wakes up the lady, hands her $50, and asks, “So what’s the answer?” Without a word, she hands him $5 and goes back to sleep.
