Fair play

A Lawyer and a Farmer were seated next to each other on an airplane.



The narcissistic, know-it-all lawyer looked contemptuously at the farmer dressed in overalls and decided to flex his mental muscles by challenging the farmer to a contest of wits.



"Say Old Timer", said the lawyer, "Ask me any question you like, and if I can't answer it I will give you $500. Then I will ask you any question I like and if you cannot answer you will only owe me $5".



The smug lawyer was sure he would be able to belittle this "rube" while flexing his own mental muscles and make a few bucks to boot.



"Just to be fair you go first" said the lawyer.



The old farmer thought for a few seconds and said, "OK; What goes up the hill with 4 eyes, 6 ears and one leg?"



The lawyer was dumbstruck. He wrestled with the question for quite some time before he had no choice but to admit defeat.



Irritated, the lawyer handed the farmer $500 and said, "You got me old man; What goes up the hill with 4 eyes, 6 ears and one leg?"



"I don't know" said the farmer, and handed the lawyer $5.
