An elderly man in Florida had owned a large farm for several years.<\/h2>\n

He had a large pond in the back, fixed up nicely: Picnic tables, horseshoe courts, a volleyball court, and some fruit trees.<\/p>\n

The pond was properly shaped and fixed up for swimming.<\/p>\n

One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond and look it over, as he hadn\u2019t been there in a while.<\/p>\n

He grabbed a five-gallon bucket to bring back some fruit.<\/p>\n

As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee.<\/p>\n

As he came closer, he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his pond.<\/p>\n

He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end.<\/p>\n

One of the women shouted to him, \u201cWe\u2019re not coming out until you leave!\u201d<\/p>\n

The old man frowned, \u201cI didn\u2019t come down here to watch you ladies swim or make you get out of the pond.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holding the bucket up he said,\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m here to feed the alligator.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A woman and a lawyer were seated next to each other on a flight. The lawyer asked if she would like to play a fun game.<\/h2>\n

The woman, tired, just wanted to take a nap, politely declined and rolled 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 explained, \u201cI ask you a question, and if you don\u2019t know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and vice versa.\u201d<\/p>\n

Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep.<\/p>\n

The lawyer, now agitated, says, \u201cOkay, if you don\u2019t know the answer you pay me $5.00, and if I don\u2019t know the answer, I will pay you $500.00.\u201d<\/p>\n

This catches the woman\u2019s attention and, figuring there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, agrees to the game.<\/p>\n

The lawyer asks the first question. \u201cWhat\u2019s the distance from the earth to the moon?\u201d<\/p>\n

The woman doesn\u2019t say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill and hands it to the lawyer. \u201cOkay,\u201d says the lawyer, \u201cyour turn\u201d.<\/p>\n

She asks the lawyer, \u201cWhat goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?\u201d<\/p>\n

The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references, no answer. He taps into the air phone with his modern and searches the net and the library of congress, no answer. Frustrated, he sends e- mail to all his friends and coworkers, to no avail. After an hour, he wakes the woman, and hands her $500.00.<\/p>\n

The woman says, \u201cThank you,\u201d and turns back to get some more sleep.<\/p>\n

The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the woman and asks, \u201cWell, what\u2019s the answer?\u201d<\/p>\n

Without a word, the woman reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes back to sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
