An American lawyer and Akpos, a
Nigerian,
are sitting next to each other on a long
flight. The lawyer believes that Nigerians
are
so dumb that he could put something
over
on them easily, so he asks if Akpos would
like to play a fun game.
Akpos is tired and just wants to take a
nap,
so he politely declines and tries to catch a
few winks.
The American 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 Akpos’ 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?”
Akpos doesn’t say a word, reaches in his
pocket pulls out a $5 bill, and hands it to
the
lawyer.
Now, it’s Akpos’ 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
Akpos and hands him $500.
Akpos pockets the $500 and goes right
back to sleep. The lawyer is going nuts
not
knowing the answer.
He wakes Akpos up and asks, “Well, so
what
goes up a hill with three legs and comes
down with four?”
Akpos reaches in his pocket, hands the
lawyer $5 and goes back to sleep.
