**The Lawyer and the Chinese** **A lawyer and and a Chinese are sitting next to each other on a long flight. *** **The lawyer is thinking that all Chinese are so dumb that he could get over ** **on them, easy. So the lawyer asks if the Chinese would like to play a fun ** **game.** **The Chinese 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 Chinese'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 Chinese 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 Chinese'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 Chinese and hands him $500. The Chinese pockets the $500 and ** **goes right back to sleep. The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. ** **He wakes the Chinese up and asks, 'Well, so what goes up a hill with***** three *** **legs and comes down with four? The Chinese reaches in his pocket, hands the ** **lawyer $5 and goes back to sleep. Don't mess with Chinese.*** <http://www.nod32.nl>
