A lawyer’s dog, running and leashed, stole a piece of meat from a butcher’s shop. The butcher was furious and marched straight round to the lawyer’s office. He asked the lawyer: “If a dog running unleashed steals a piece of meat from my store, do I have the right to demand payment for the meat from the dog’s owner?”
“Definitely”, said the
lawyer.
“Then you owe me eight
dollars fifty,” said the butcher.
“Your dog was loose and stole
some meat from me today.”
To the butcher’s surprise,
the lawyer promptly wrote out a cheque for eight dollars fifty without making
any fuss.
Two days later, the butcher
opened his mail to find a bill from the lawyer- Hundred dollars for legal
consultation.
