The Materialistic Lawyer
A very successful lawyer parked his brand-new Lexus in front of his
office, ready to show it off to his colleagues. As he got out, a truck passed too close
and completely tore off the door on the driver's side of the Lexus. The counsellor
immediately grabbed his cell phone, dialled 911, and within minutes a policeman pulled up.
Before the officer had a chance to ask any questions, the lawyer started screaming
hysterically. His Lexus, which he had just picked up the day before, was now completely
ruined and would never be the same, no matter what the body shop did to it.
When the lawyer finally wound down from his ranting and having, the
officer shook his head in disgust and disbelief. "I can't believe how materialistic
you lawyers are," he said. "You are so focused on your possessions that you
don't notice anything else."
"How can you say such a thing?" asked the lawyer.
The cop replied, "Don't you know that your left arm is missing from
the elbow down? It must have been torn off when the truck hit you."
"My God!" screamed the lawyer. "Where's my Rolex?!!"
