An American lawyer and a Vietnamese are sitting next to each other on a long flight to Saigon . The lawyer believes that Vietnamese are so dumb that he could put something over on them easily...So the lawyer asks if the Vietnamese would like to play a fun game.
The Vietnamese 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 Vietnamese'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 Vietnamese 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 Vietnamese'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 Vietnamese and hands him $500. The Vietnamese pockets the $500 and goes right back to sleep.
The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer.. He wakes the Vietnamese up and asks, 'Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?'
The Vietnamese reaches in his pocket, hands the lawyer $5 and goes back to sleep
