the Big Mattress - Freeform Interactive Radio on the Net: joke of the week

A Chicago lawyer and a Jamaican are sitting next to each other on a long flight.
The lawyer is thinking that Jamaicans are so dumb that he can fool them easy...
So the lawyer asks if the Jamaican would like to play a fun game.
The Jamaican 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.'

This catches the Jamaican'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 Jamaican 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 Jamaican's turn.
He asks the lawyer, 'What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?'
The lawyer uses his laptop, searches all the references he knows.
He uses the air-phone; he searches the Net and even the Library of Congress.
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 Jamaican and hands him $500.
The Jamaican pockets the $500 goes right back to sleep.
The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer.
He finally wakes the Jamaican up and asks,
'Okay, okay- So, what does go up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?'
The Jamaican reaches in his pocket, hands the lawyer $5
and goes back to sleep.
