A Lawyers Dog
A lawyer's dog, running about unleashed, beelines for
a butcher shop and steals a roast. Butcher goes to
lawyer's office and asks, "if a dog running
unleashed steals a piece of meat from my store, do I have
a right to demand payment for the meat from the dog's
owner?" The lawyer answers, "Absolutely."
"Then
you owe me $8.50. Your dog was loose and stole a roast
from me today."
The lawyer, without a word, writes the butcher a check
for $8.50 [attorneys don't carry cash -- it's too
plebeian -- and the butcher hadn't brought the shop's
credit card imprinter to the lawyer's office].
Several periods of time later -- it could be the next
day but that would be unrealistic -- the butcher opens
the mail and finds an envelope from the lawyer: $20 due
for a consultation.
