The Golden Hill Paugussett Indian Reservation
A lawyer and an Old Lakota are sitting next to each other on a long flight. The lawyer is thinking that ‘Indians’ are so dumb that he could get over on them easy….
So the lawyer asks if the ‘Indian’ would like to play a fun game.The Old Lakota 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 Old Lakota’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 Old Lakota doesn’t say a word, reaches in his pocket pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.Now, it’s the Old Lakota’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 Indian and hands him $500. The Old Lakota pockets the $500 and goes right back to sleep.The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the Indian up and asks,
‘Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?’
The Old Lakota reaches in his pocket, hands the lawyer $5 and goes back to sleep. Lol!The Moral of the Story – Don’t mess with Old Lakotas….

I am guessing that joke is a a lot older than a Lakota. It is the kind of gag that may be thousands of years old in various forms. Still a good one, too.
