A local United Way office realized that it had never received a donation from the town's most successful lawyer. The person in charge of contributions called him to persuade him to contribute.

"Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least $500,000, you give not a penny to charity. Wouldn't you like to give back to the community in some way?"

The lawyer mulled this over for a moment and replied, "First, did your research also show that my mother is living in a shabby little apartment, and has medical bills that are several times her annual income?"

Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbled, "Ummm...no."

"Or that my brother, a disabled veteran, cannot hold a steady job?"

The stricken United Way rep began to stammer out an apology but was interrupted, "Or that my sister is a single mother with three children to raise?!"

The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, said simply, "I had no idea..."

On a roll, the lawyer cut him off once again:

"--so if I don't give any money to them, why should I give any to you?!"

 

 

I work with some lawyers who have the very same mindset... ;-\

 

The thing I'll say about lawyers like that ^ is that they really don't discriminate.

 

 

Equal opportunity assholes!

 

Nothing like a $400/ per hour ass raping with no lube.
