The gay lawyer

[Steve Wood]

A lawyer and a blonde woman happen to be sitting next to each other on a long flight from L.A.
to New York. The lawyer leans over to her and asks if she would like to play a fun game. The
blonde is tired and just wants to take a nap, so she politely declines and rolls over to the
window to catch a few winks.

The lawyer persists, saying that the game is really easy and a lot of fun. He explains how the
game works . . . " I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me, and
vice-versa." Again, the blonde politely declines and tries to get some sleep.

The lawyer figures that since his opponent is a blonde he will easily win the match, so he
makes another offer. " Okay, how about this . . . If you don't know the answer you pay me only
$5, but if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500."

This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring that there will be no end to this torment
unless she plays, she agrees to play the game.

The lawyer asks the first question . . " What's the distance from the earth to the moon ?"

The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches in to her purse, pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands
it to the lawyer.

Now, it's the blonde's turn. She asks the lawyer . . . " What goes up a hill with three legs,
and comes down with four?"

The lawyer looks at her with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all
his references. He taps into the Air-phone with his modem and searches the Net and even the
Library of Congress. Frustrated he sends E-mails to all his co-workers and friends he knows.
All to no avail.

After over an hour of searching for the answer he finally gives up.

He wakes the blonde and hands her $500. The blonde politely takes the $500 and turns away to
get back to sleep.

The lawyer, who cannot imagine what the answer is, and is going nuts trying to figure it out,
is more than a little frustrated! He wakes the blonde and asks . . . " Well, so what goes up a
hill with three legs and comes down with four ?"

The blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5, and goes back to sleep.

80+ reads and nobody asked why the title is "Gay Lawyer".

(I get the feeling I just stepped into a trap)

He (Liberace Wood) is trying to be topical. Due to the controversy his narrow-minded replies have caused in another thread, and the resulting devisive results (which he had gleefully planned from the start), he is attempting to provide levity to the situation with another of his horrible "Hall of Shame" jokes. The result, with me at least, is simply an urge to throw up!

Bingo! The fact that the lawyer might be gay has no more to do with the joke, than Zap's crusade against gays has to do with the issue of marriage.

Rather than doing it on the keyboard yet again, go to the bathroom. You can play with one of my candles while you are waiting for nature to take her course, George.

Ummmm, excuse me......can I just get off the bus here? I need to go back to my vacation.

Hope that bus is not named Priscilla!
