| Joke of the
week |
A blonde and a lawyer were seated next to each other on a long flight. To pass the time, the lawyer suggested that they try to stump one another with trivia. "If I ask you something that you don't know, you owe me . The same goes if you ask me something I don't know." The blonde refused.
"Okay. If you don't know an answer, you pay me , but if I don't know an answer, I pay you ."
The blonde accepted. The Lawyer went first.
"What is the distance from the earth to the moon?"
The blonde didn't say anything, but merely reached into her purse, pulled out a bill and handed it to the lawyer. Then it was her turn.
"What has four legs going up a hill, but only three coming down?"
The lawyer had no idea, so he gave her a bill.
"So, what is it?"
The blonde said nothing, but merely reached into her purse and gave a bill
to the lawyer.
Wanna be a playa and have your name in lights ... or at least mentioned in SmartShanghai.com Submit your joke [here]
