The Scouser and the Lawyer

So I got this joke from somewhere online and it was too funny and I have to share it with everyone here.

A lawyer and a Scouser are sitting next to each other on a long flight.
The lawyer is thinking that the Liverpool folk are so dumb that he could get over on them easy...So the lawyer asks if the Scouser would like to play a fun game.

The Scouser 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, he says.

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

Now, it's the Scouser's 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 Scouser and hands him £500. The Scouser pockets the £500 and goes right back to sleep.

The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer.

He wakes the Scouser up again and asks, 'Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?'


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