''Oirish''!
A smart-ass English barrister and an Irish farmer are sitting next to each other on a very long flight.
Paddy is trying to sleep.The Barrister thinks to himself “Irishmen aren't too clever; I could put one over on this big man easily…”
So, he asks if the Irishman to play a fun game to pass the time.
Paddy would rather sleep but courteously asks “What kind of a game?” and the barrister replies, “I ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me only €5 then you ask me one, and if I don’t know the answer, I will pay you €500.”
The lawyer asks the first question. “What’s the distance from The Earth to the Moon?”
Paddy doesn’t say a word but just reaches in his pocket pulls out a fiver and hands it to the Barrister.
Then it’s Paddy’s turn.
He thinks for a bit then says “What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?”
The lawyer uses his laptop and Googles all the references he can find on the Net.
He emails all his smart barrister friends but all to no avail.
Eventually, after an hour he gives up and turns to a sleeping Paddy then shakes him awake and hands him €500.
Paddy pockets the €500, turns in his seat and goes right back to sleep.
The barrister is going nuts not knowing the answer.
He wakes Paddy up again and asks, “Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?”
The Irishman reaches in his pocket, hands the barrister €5.00 and goes back to sleep.
