Many years ago, I heard about this rich man who asked his son, a practising lawyer, over the phone on some matters. A few days later, he was shocked and disgusted when he received a bill from him!
A dog ran into a butcher shop and grabbed a roast off the counter.
Fortunately, the butcher recognised the dog as belonging to a neighbour of his. The neighbour happened to be a lawyer.
Incensed at the theft, the butcher called up his neighbour 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 cheque in the mail for $7.98.
Attached to it was an invoice that read: Legal Consultation Service: $150.
