If you think lawyers dont have hearts, read the best lawyer story of all time...bar none. The Salvation Army realized that it had never received a donation from the citys most successful lawyer. So a United Way volunteer paid the lawyer a visit in his lavish office. The volunteer opened the meeting by saying, Our research shows that even though your annual income is over two million dollars, you dont give a penny to charity. Wouldnt you like to give something back to your community through the Sallies? The lawyer thinks for a minute and says, First, did your research also show you that my mother is dying after a long, painful illness and she has huge medical bills that are far beyond her ability to pay? Embarrassed, the Sally rep mumbles, Uh... no, I didnt know that. Secondly, says the lawyer, did it show that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair and is unable to support his wife and six children? The stricken Sally rep begins to stammer an apology, but is cut off again. Thirdly, did your research also show you that my sisters husband died in a dreadful car accident, leaving her penniless with a mortgage and three children, one of whom is disabled and another that has learning disabilities requiring an array of private tutors? The humiliated Sally rep, completely beaten, says, Im so sorry. I had no idea. And the lawyer says, So, if I didnt give any money to them, what makes you think Id give any to you?
