A ROOM FOR THE NIGHTA
lawyer and two friends, a Rabbi and a Hindu holy man,
had car trouble in the countryside and asked to spend
the night with a farmer. The
farmer said "There
might be a problem; you see, I only have room for two
to sleep, so one of you must
sleep in the barn."
"No problem," said the Rabbi, "My people
wandered in the desert for forty years, I am humble enough
to sleep in the
barn for an evening." With that he
departed to the barn and the others bedded down for the
night. Moments later a knock was heard at the door; the
farmer opened the door, there stood the Rabbi from the
barn.
"What''s wrong?" asked the farmer.
He replied, "I
am grateful to you , but I can''t sleep in the barn. There
is a pig in the barn and my faith believes that is an unclean
animal." His Hindu friend agrees to swap places with
him. But a few minutes late the same scene reoccurs. There
is a knock on the door,
"What''s wrong, now?" the farmer asks.
The Hindu
holy man replies, "I too am grateful for your helping
us out but there is a cow in the barn and in my country
cows are considered sacred. I can''t sleep on holy ground!"
Well, that leaves only the lawyer to make the change. He
grumbled and complained, but went out to the barn.
Moments later there was another knock on the farmers door.
Frustrated and tired, the farmer opens the door, and there
stood the pig and the cow.
ANYONE FOR A CIGAR?A
defendant in a lawsuit involving large sums of money
was talking to his lawyer. "If I lose this case,
I''ll be ruined!"
"It''s in the judge''s hands now," said the lawyer.
"Would it help if I sent the
judge a box of cigars?"
"No! The judge is a stickler on ethical behavior.
A stunt like that would prejudice him against you. He might
even hold you in contempt of court."
Within the course of time, the judge rendered a decision
in favor of the defendant. As the defendant left the courthouse,
he said to his lawyer, "Thanks for the tip about the
cigars. It really worked!"
Confidently the lawyer responded, "I''m sure we would
have lost the case if you''d sent them."
"But I did send them.", replied the man.
"What?" shouted the lawyer?
"I sure did, that''s how we won the case... good thing
I remembered to enclose the plaintiff''s business card."
