Legal Advice

[RonBou]

 
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 who walks away satisfied.

Not even a week later the butcher opens the mail and finds an envelope from the lawyer: An invoice in the amount of $20 due for a consultation.

  Funny, but so true.
