A lawyer sits next to a blonde on a plane.
The blonde turns to the window to get some sleep, but the lawyer, knowing he's definitely smarter than this lady, decides to make a quick buck off her. He taps her on the shoulder.
"Let's play a game to pass the time. I'll think of a question, and if you can't answer you give me 5 bucks, but if I can't answer a question you ask me, I'll give you 10 bucks. Whaddya say?"
The blonde politely declines, and turns back to the window. Not one to give up easily, the lawyer groans and says, "Fine, if I don't know the answer I'll give you a hundred bucks, and you still only have to give me five. Deal?"
The blonde sighs and agrees. The lawyer chuckles and asks, "What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon and three legs in the evening?"
The blonde thinks for a moment, shrugs, reaches into her purse, and hands him a $5 bill.
The lawyer laughs and pockets the bill. "Ok, your turn now! Go on, just try your best, there's no shame in losing."
The blonde thinks for a second and smiles. "What's the smallest thing in the world but has the biggest shadow?"
The lawyer frowns, and begins to ponder her question. He thinks and thinks, and as he continues, the blonde turns back to the window and gets some rest. As she sleeps, the lawyer decides to cheat and pulls out his phone, searching high and low for the answer to the riddle.
Four hours later, the blonde feels a sharp poke on her shoulder and rolls over to see the lawyer holding a $100 bill out towards her. She smiles, thanks him, places it in her purse and turns back to the window.
Beyond annoyed, the lawyer scoffs and sputters. "WELL?!" he shouts. "What's the answer??"
Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, pulls out a five, hands it to him, and goes back to sleep.
