What Goes up a Hill With 3 legs, and Comes Down with 4?? Mar 22, 2013
A lawyer and a senior citizen are sitting next to each other on a long
flight.
The lawyer is thinking that seniors are so dumb that he could get one over
on them easily.
So, the lawyer asks if the senior would like to play a fun game.
The senior is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines
and tries to catch a few winks.
The lawyer persists, saying 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 $5.00. Then
you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500.00," he
says.
This catches the senior'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 senior doesn't say a word, but reaches into his pocket, pulls out a
five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.
Now, it's the senior's turn. He asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with
three legs, and comes down with four?"
The lawyer uses his laptop to search all references he can find on the
Net.
He sends E-mails to all the smart friends he knows; all to no avail.
After an hour of searching, he finally gives up..
He wakes the senior and hands him $500.00. The senior pockets the $500.00
and goes right back to sleep.
The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the senior up
and asks, "Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with
four?"
The senior reaches into his pocket, hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes back
to sleep.

Just heard of a good idea: put 65+-ers in jail and jailbirds in old peoples homes.
That way 65+-ers can shower, have a hobby and have time for walks. They get unlimited free medicine, dentist visits and wheelchairs. Plus they get money, instead of having to pay for their place. They get help imidiately when they need it and get twice a week clean bed sheets. Their clothes get washed and ironed. They get free meals, access to a library, swimming pool and can follow a study for free. Every 65+-er will have their own PC, TV and phone.

OTOH, prisoners will get cold meals, can only shower once a week and have to pay for their stay.

This is based on reality...
