A Game Of Intelligence

My girlfriend, who is not very bright, sat next to a Lawyer on an airplane. The lawyer kept asking her to play a game of intelligence.

Finally, the lawyer offered 20 to 1 odds, and said each time she was unable to answer one of his questions, she owed him $5, but each time he couldn’t answer hers, he’d give her $100. The lawyer thought that he couldn’t lose and reluctantly my girlfriend accepted the bet.

The lawyer asked, “How far is the distance between Earth and the nearest star?

My girlfriend gave him $5 without speaking. She then asked, “What goes uphill with 3 legs and comes back downhill with 4 legs?”

The lawyer looked puzzled. After several hours, he gave up and reluctantly paid my girlfriend $100. She put it in her purse and the lawyer asked, “What is the answer to your question”? Without a word being spoken, he handed him $5!
