The Lawyer
A very successful lawyer parked his brand new golden Lexus in
front of the office in preparation for showing it off to his
colleagues. As he was stepping out, a truck came along and
completely tore off the driver's side door. The lawyer immediately
grabbed his cell phone, dialed 911, and in less than five minutes a
policeman arrived. But, before the officer had a chance to ask
any questions, the lawyer started screaming hysterically that
his Lexus, which he had just picked up the day before, was now
completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter how much work
the body shop did on it.
After the lawyer finally wound down, the cop shook his head in
disgust and disbelief: "I can't believe how materialistic you lawyers
are," he said. "You are so focused on your possessions that you neglect
the most important things in life." "How can you say such a thing?"
asked the lawyer. "My God," pondered the astonished policemen, "don't
you even realize that your left arm is missing? It was obviously
ripped off when the truck hit you!"
"Oh my God!," screamed the
lawyer, "my Rolex!!!"
