"Meat Thief"
A butcher was minding his store one day, when
a dog ran in and stole a cut of meat off his counter.
The butcher recognized the dog as belonging to
his neighbor who was a lawyer. He called up his
neighbor and said, "Your dog stole meat from
my store. I believe you owe me for the meat."
The lawyer said " You are correct. How much was
the meat?"
The butcher told him that it cost $4.50, the lawyer
replied that the butcher should receive a check for
that amount in the mail the next day.
The next day, the check arrived in the mail for
$4.50, with a bill attached for $150 "for legal
consultation."

"Lawyer's Bill"
A corporate executive received a monthly bill
from the law firm that was handling a big case
for his company. It included hourly billing for
conferences, research, phone calls, and everything
but lunch hours. Unhappy as he was, the executive
knew that the company would have to pay for each
of these services. Then he noticed one item buried
in the middle of the list:
FOR CROSSING THE STREET TO TALK
TO YOU, THEN DISCOVERING IT WASN'T
YOU AT ALL -- $125.
