There was a job opening in the country's most prestigious law firm and it finally came down to
Thomas and Peter...
Both graduated with highest honors. Both came from excellent families. Both were equally
attractive and well spoken.
Finally, the senior partner had to make a decision, so she took each aside and asks, "Why did you become a lawyer?" In seconds, she chooses Peter.
Baffled, Thomas takes Peter aside. "I don't understand why I was rejected. When Ms. Stein asked me why I became a lawyer, I said that I had the greatest respect for the law, and that I'd lay down my life for the Constitution and that all I wanted was to do right by my clients. What in the world did you tell her?"
"I said I became a lawyer because of my hands," Peter replies.
"Your hands? What the heck do you mean?"
"Well, I took a long look one day and there wasn't any money in either of them!"
