Laugh it off
An old man and an experienced lawyer sit next to each other on a plane. The lawyer asks the old man to play a game. If lawyer asked question that old man didn't know the answer to, he would have to pay him five rupees. And every time the old man asked the lawyer a question that he didn't know the answer to, the lawyer had to pay the old man 50 rupees. So the lawyer asked the old man his first question: “What is the distance between the Earth and the nearest star?” Without a word the old man pays the lawyer five rupees.
The old man then asks him: “What goes up a hill with four legs and down a hill with three?” The lawyer thinks about it, but finally gives up and pays the old man 50 rupees.
Then the lawyer asked old man what the answer was and without a word the old man gave the lawyer five rupees.
One day a barrister was riding in his big car when he saw a man eating grass, he told the driver to stop. He got out and asked him: “Why are you eating grass?”
The man replied: “I’m so poor, I can’t afford any thing to eat.” So the barrister said: “Poor guy! Come to my house.” The man then said: “But I have a wife and three kids.” The barrister told him to bring them along. When they were all in the car, the poor man said: “Thanks for taking us to your house, it is so kind of you.”
The barrister said: “You’re going to love it there, the grass is a foot long.”
A young businessman had just started his own firm. He'd rented a beautiful office and had it furnished with antiques.
Sitting there, he saw a man come into the outer office. Wishing to appear busy, the businessman picked up the phone and started to pretend he had a big deal working.
