An investment counselor decided to go out on her own. She
was shrewd and diligent, so business kept coming in, and pretty soon she
realized that she needed an in-house counsel. She began to interview young
lawyers.
“As I’m sure you can understand,” she started off with
one of the first applicants, “in a business like this, our personal integrity
must be beyond question.” She leaned forward. “Mr. Peterson, are you an honest
lawyer?”
“Honest?” replied the job prospect. “Let me tell you
something about honest. Why, I’m so honest that my father lent me $15,000 for
my education, and I paid back every penny the minute I tried my very first
case.”
“Impressive. And what sort of case was that?”
The lawyer squirmed in his seat and admitted, “He sued me
for the money.”
