A lawyer and a Scouser are sitting next to each other on a long
Flight. The lawyer is thinking that the Liverpool folk are so dumb
That he could get over on them easy...So the lawyer asks if the
Scouser would like to play a fun game.
The Scouser 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
Scouser'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 Scouser doesn't say a word, reaches in his
Pocket pulls out a five pound note, and hands it to the lawyer.
Now, it's the Scouser'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 Scouser and
Hands him ?500. The Scouser pockets the ?500 and goes right back to
Sleep.
The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the
Scouser up again and asks, 'Well, so what goes up a hill with three
Legs and comes down with four?'
The Scouser reaches in his pocket, hands the lawyer ?5 and goes back to sleep.
Don't mess with the Mersey folk.
