One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along
the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he
got out to investigate.
He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?" "We don't have any money for
food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat grass." "Well, then, you can
come with me to my house and I'll feed you" the lawyer said.
"But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under
that tree." "Bring them along" the lawyer replied. Turning to the other poor
man he stated, "You come with us also." The second man, in a pitiful voice
then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!" "Bring
them all, as well," the lawyer answered.
They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as
the limousine was. Once underway, one of the poor fellows turned to the
lawyer and said, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with
you."
The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my place. The grass
is almost a foot high."
It got so cold here in Canada last year that I actually saw a lawyer with his hands in his own pockets!
