Lawyer's Dog
A dog ran into a butcher shop and grabbed a roast off the counter.
Fortunately, the butcher recognized the dog as belonging to a neighbor
of his. The neighbor happened to be a lawyer.
Incensed at the theft, the butcher called up his neighbor and said,
"Hey, if your dog stole a roast from my butcher shop, would you
be liable for the cost of the meat?"
The lawyer replied, "Of course, how much was the roast?"
"$7.98."
A few days later the butcher received a check in the mail for
$7.98. Attached to it was an invoice that read:
Legal Consultation Service: $150
