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: $25.00."
