THE SMART JAMAICAN

A lawyer and a Jamaican are sitting next to each other on a long flight. The lawyer is thinking that Jamaicans are so dumb that he can fool them easy. So the lawyer asks if the Jamaican would like to play a fun game.  

‘I ask you a question and 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.’
This catches the Jamaican’s attention and he agrees to play the game.

The lawyer asks the first question. ‘What’s the distance from the Earth to the moon?’ The Jamaican doesn’t say a word, reaches in his pocket pulls out a $5 bill and hands it to the lawyer.

Now, it’s the Jamaican’s turn. He asks the lawyer, ‘What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?’ The lawyer uses his laptop, searches all the references he knows. He searches the Net and even the Library of Congress.
He sends e-mails to all the smart friends he knows, all to no avail.

After one hour of searching, he finally gives up and hands the Jamaican $500. He pockets the $500 and goes to sleep. The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the Jamaican up and asks, ‘Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?’

The Jamaican reaches in his pocket, hands the lawyer $5 and goes back to sleep. Don’t mess with them Jamaicans. They only talk different...
