The American Lawyer and The Indonesian Passenger

An American lawyer and an Indonesian passenger were sitting next to each
other on a long flight from New York to Jakarta.The lawyer thought that
all Indonesian were so dumb that he could get over on them, easily.

So the lawyer asked if the Indonesian would like to play a fun game. The
Indonesian was tired and just wanted to take a nap, so he politely
declined, and tried to catch a few winks.The lawyer persisted, and said
that the game was 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 said.
This caught the Indonesian's attention and to keep the lawyer quiet, he
agreed to play the game.

The lawyer asked the first question. 'What's the distance from The Earth
to the Moon?' The Indonesian didn't say a word, reached in his pocket,
pulled out a five-dollar bill, and handed it to the lawyer.
Now, it was the Indonesian's turn. He asked the lawyer, 'What goes up a
hill with three legs, and comes down with four?' After asking the question
without waiting for the answer, he went right back to sleep.

The lawyer used his laptop and searched all references he could find on
the Net. He sent e-mails to all the smart friends he knew, all to no
avail. After one hour of searching he finally gave up. He woke up the
Indonesian and handed him $500. The Indonesian pocketed the $500 and went
right back to sleep.The lawyer was going nuts not knowing the answer. He
woke the Indonesian up and asked, "Well, so what goes up a hill with three
legs and comes down with four?"The Indonesian reached in his pocket,
handed the lawyer $5 and went back to sleep.
