The Blonde and the Lawyer

A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flght from LA to NY.

The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game.

The blonde, tired, just wants to take a nap, politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.

The lawyer persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun.

He explains, “I ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and vise versa.”

Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer, now agitated, says, “Okay, if you don’t know the answer you pay me $5.00, and if I don’t know the answer, I will pay you $500.00.”

This catches the blonde’s attention and, À guring there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, agrees to the game. The lawyer asks the first question. “What’s the distance from the earth to the moon?” The blonde doesn’t say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill and hands it to the lawyer. “Okay” says the lawyer, “your turn.”

She asks the lawyer, “What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?” The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references, no answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the net and the library of congress, no answer. Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworkers, to no avail. After an hour, he wakes the blonde, and hands her $500.00.

The blonde says, “Thank you”, and turns back to get some more sleep.

The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks, “Well, what’s the answer?” Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes back to sleep.

Pembahasan :
Soal menanyakan siapa yang lebih pintar si pirang atau pengacara.

Teks di atas menceritakan tentang 2 orang yang bertemu dalam pesawat dari LA ke NY. Si pirang dan pengacara memainkan sebuah permainan dimana apabila si pirang tidak bisa menjawab dia akan memberikan $5 kepada pengacara namun apabila sebaliknya pengacara akan memberikan uang $500 kepada si pirang.

Pada awal permainan si pirang tidak bisa menjawab lalu dia memberi $5 kepada pengacara. Sama halnya dengan pengacara yang tidak bisa menjawab pertanyaan si pirang maka dia terpaksa memberi $500.

Sang pengacara penasaran dengan jawaban dari pertanyaan si pirang namun saat ditanya si pirang lalu memberi $5 kepada nya. Hal ini dapat di artikan bahwa si pirang memberi pertanyaan yang dia sendiri tidak tahu jawabannya.

Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa si pirang lebih pintar daripada pengacara karena dia bisa mendapatkan lebih banyak uang dan bisa tidur dengan cepat dalam perjalanan.

Jadi, jawaban yang benar adalah a. The blonde
