LAWYER’S DOG….
July 19th, 2005
A lawyer’s dog, running around town unleashed, heads for a
butcher shop and steals a roast. The butcher goes to the
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. The butcher, having a feeling of satisfaction, leaves.
Three days later, the butcher finds a bill from the lawyer:
$100 due for a consultation.
