Comedy Central, Let's Have A Giggle!!

[alkie]

A English lawyer and a Scotsman are sitting next to each other on a train. The lawyer is thinking that the Scots are so dumb that he could put one over on him easily...So the lawyer asks if he would like to play a fun game.

The Scot 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",
This catches the Scots 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 Scot doesn't say a word, reaches in his pocket pulls out a five pound note and hands it to the lawyer.

Now, it's his 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 Scot and hands him £500. he happily pockets the £500 and goes right back to sleep.

The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the Scot up and asks,
'Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?'

The Scot reaches in his pocket, hands the lawyer £5 and goes back to sleep.

And the moral of this little tale?
Never underestimate the guile of a Scotsman!
