Wanting to impress the old feller he tries to strike up a conversation with him. The old guy just wanted to sleep. Finally the lawyer invites the old guy to play a game. Ill ask you a question he said and if you don't know the answer you give me five bucks. Then you ask me a question and if I don't know the answer Ill give you five hundred bucks. The old man agreed to play. The lawyer then asked this--how far is the moon from the earth. The old man thought a bit then reached into his pocket and pulled a five spot. Then the old man asked this question--what goes up a hill with three legs and goes down a hill with four? The youngster thought and thought . He pulled out his laptop---emailed all his friends--googled everything he could think of and after an hour or so he gave the old man five big bills. The old man stuck them in his pocket and went to sleep. The young guy was beside himself. He wanted to know the answer and outa frustration he woke up the old man and asked---tell me--what goes up a hill with three legs and goes down the hill with four legs. The old man reaches into his pocket pulls out a five spot--gives it to the lawyer and goes back to sleep.
Second story
An old man living on the east coast would every year have his son come over in the spring to till his yard so he could plant tomatoes. This spring the young man couldn't make it because he was in prison in florida. Out of sadness he wrote his son explaining is grief. A few days later he got a letter from his son saying---Dad, don't till the yard. That is where I hid the bodies. The next day a group of FBI agents came by and with shovels in hand ripped up the whole yard. Finally after digging all day they knocked on the door and told the old man that they were sorry for the mess and that they had returned everything to normal. A few days later the old man got another letter from his son. It read---sorry I couldn't make it dad but under the circumstances this was the best I could do. You can plant your tomatoes now
