COSTLY ADVICE
A lawyer’s dog ran into a butcher shop and stole a roast. The butcher went to the lawyer’s office and asked him, “if a dog is without a leash and steals a roast from my store, do I have the legal right to require payment for the meat that was taken from me?” The lawyer answered the butcher, “Oh yes, absolutely.” “The dog was your dog, the meat was my meat, and–according to your own advice–you owe me ten dollars for the meat your dog took.from me today.” The lawyer agreed with the butcher and immediately wrote the butcher a check for ten dollars. A few days later, the butcher received a letter from the lawyer. The butcher opened the envelope and found an invoice for sixty dollars for the lawyer’s consultation fee.
