A lawyer's dog, running about unleashed, b-lines for the local
butcher shop and steals a roast off the counter. The butcher goes
to the lawyer's office and asks, "if a dog, running
unleashed, steals a piece of meat from my store, do I have a right
to demand payment for the meat from the dog's owner?"
"Absolutely," the lawyer responded.
The butcher immediately shot back, "Good! You owe me $7.99
for the roast your dog stole from me this morning." The
lawyer, without a word, writes the butcher a check for $7.99.
A few days later, the butcher, browsing through his mail, finds
an envelope from the lawyer. The contents read "Consultation
- $250.00."
