Having a good sense of humor about things is one easy way to brighten any day.
Whenever I'm having a dramatic or stressful day, I try to find a way to laugh things off. So I'm always on the lookout for funny jokes to share that can bring a little laughter into mine or someone else's life.
In this hilarious story, a lawyer is seated next to a woman on a plane, and he insists that she play a game with him. When she finally relents, she comes up with a brilliant way to "win" the game and to show the lawyer just who is the smartest.
This funny story has been circulating the internet for years, like the joke about the man who asked God to help him win the lottery. And like most of my favorite funny stories, this one has a perfect twist ending that made me laugh out loud.

A woman and a lawyer were seated next to each other on a flight from LA to NY. The lawyer asked if she would like to play a fun game.
The woman, tired, just wanted to take a nap. She politely declined and rolled over to the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer persisted and explained that the game was easy and a lot of fun. He explained, “I ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and vice versa.”
Again, she declined and tried to get some sleep.
The lawyer, now agitated, said, “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 caught the woman’s attention and, figuring there would be no end to this torment unless she played, she agreed to the game.
The lawyer asked the first question. “What’s the distance from the earth to the moon?”
The woman didn’t say a word, reached into her purse, pulled out a $5.00 bill and handed it to the lawyer. “Okay,” said the lawyer, “your turn.”
She asked the lawyer, “What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?”
The lawyer, puzzled, took out his laptop and searched all his references. No answer. He searched the net and the Library of Congress. No answer. Frustrated, he sent an e-mail to his friends and coworkers to no avail. After an hour, he woke the woman, and handed her $500.00.
The woman said, “Thank you,” and turned back to get some more sleep.
The lawyer, who was more than a little miffed, woke the woman and asked, “Well, what’s the answer?”
Without a word, the woman reached into her purse, handed the lawyer $5.00, and went back to sleep with a smile on her face.
