OK, just one then: <br /><br /><em>A local charity had never received a donation from the town's most successful lawyer. The director called to get a contribution.<br /><br />"Our records show you make $500,000 a year, yet you haven't given a penny to charity," the director began. "Wouldn't you like to help the community?"<br /><br />The lawyer replied, "Did your research show that my mother is ill, with medical bills several times her annual income?"<br /><br />"Um, no," mumbled the director.<br /><br />"Or that my brother is blind and unemployed?" The stricken director began to stammer an apology.<br /><br />"Or that my sister's husband died in an accident," said the lawyer, his voice rising in indignation, "leaving her penniless with three kids?"<br /><br />The humiliated director said simply,"I had no idea."<br /><br />"So, if I don't give any money to them, why would I give money to you?"</em>ZenTigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07888629207437612884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-25115517017882480002010-01-14T12:12:26.409+13:002010-01-14T12:12:26.409+13:00"Find me a lawyer who has created billions of...<i>"Find me a lawyer who has created billions of dollars of misery"</i><br /><br />Barack Obama (and he's not done yet)Dolfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-11200575851321644042010-01-13T20:21:23.926+13:002010-01-13T20:21:23.926+13:00Plenty of architects being sued KG.

They probably loved my money more than me, I think. I have had long term relationships at different times with a couple of them (also have children with each) and they're nice at home but arrogant in their own practice when dealing with clients (I had witnessed that first hand).<br /><br />I was a lawyer myself, but then got out and became a (reasonably successful) businessman.Benjaminnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-16433563454538966282010-01-13T15:41:56.431+13:002010-01-13T15:41:56.431+13:00All the lawyers I know are lovely, but I've ne...All the lawyers I know are lovely, but I've never had to deal with any of them in a professional capacity.Ryan Sproullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11222455658493463011noreply@blogger.com
