Don't worry about avoiding temptation.
As you grow older, it will avoid you!

A London lawyer and a Yorkshireman are sitting next to each other on a
long flight to Leeds .
The lawyer is thinking that Yorkshire men are all 'cloth cap and clogs'
and that he can fool them easily...
So the lawyer asks if the Yorkshireman would like to play a fun game.
The Yorkshireman 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.'
As may be expected, this catches the Yorkshireman'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 Yorkshireman doesn't say a word, reaches in his pocket, pulls out a
five-pound note, and hands it to the lawyer.
Now, it's the Yorkshireman's turn.
He asks the lawyer, 'What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down
with four?'
The lawyer uses his laptop, searches all the references he knows. He uses
the air-phone; he searches the Net and even the British Library. He sends
e-mails to all the smart friends he knows, all to no avail. After over an
hour of searching, he finally gives up.
He wakes up the Yorkshireman and hands him £500. The Yorkshireman pockets
the £500 and goes straight back to sleep.
The lawyer is going crazy not knowing the answer. He wakes the
Yorkshireman up and asks, 'Well! What the hell does goes up a hill with
three legs and comes
down with four?'
The Yorkshireman reaches in his pocket, hands the lawyer £5 and goes back
to sleep.
Don't mess with Yorkshiremen; we only talk different.
