:::|Sweet Jokes™ |::: joke about Generous lawyer

A local United Way office realized that the organization had never received a donation from the town's most successful lawyer. The person in charge of contributions called him to persuade him to contribute.   "Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least $500,000, you give not a penny to charity. Wouldn't you like to give back to the community in some way?"   The lawyer mulled this over for a moment and replied, "First, did your research also show that my mother is dying after a long illness, and has medical bills that are several times her annual income?"   Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbled, "Um ... no." The lawyer interrupts, "or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?"   The stricken United Way rep began to stammer out an apology, but was interrupted again.   "or that my sister's husband died in a traffic accident," the lawyer's voice rising in indignation, "leaving her penniless with three children?!" The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, said simply, "I had no idea..."   On a roll, the lawyer cut him off once again, "So if I don't give any money to them, why should I give any to you?"    From: Spaarkx - the free thing zone (new stuff updated) http://www.indian-speaks.blogspot.com http://blogger-anurag.blogspot.com http://sweet-jokes.blogspot.com __._,_.___ Messages in this topic (1) Reply (via web post) | Start a new topic Messages | Database | Polls Group Email Addresses Post message: sweet_jokes@yahoogroups.com Subscribe:    sweet_jokes-subscribe@yahoogroups.com List owner:   sweet_jokes-owner@yahoogroups.com               ANURAG BHATIA (anurag.bhatia@gmail.com) Moderator:    ANURAG BHATIA (anurag.bhatia@gmail.com)               SHRUTI BHATIA (dr.shruti.bhatia@gmail.com) http://cricketworld4all.blogspot.com/ Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
