An investment counselor decided to go out on her own. She
was shrewd and diligent, so business kept coming in, and pretty soon she
realized that she needed an in-house counsel. The investment banker began to
interview young lawyers.
"As I'm sure you can understand," she started
off with one of the first applicants, "in a business like this, our personal
integrity must be beyond question." She leaned forward. "Mr. Mayberry, are you
an honest lawyer?"
"Honest?" replied the job prospect. "Let me tell you
something about honest. Why, I'm so honest that my father lent me $15,000 for my
education, and I paid back every penny the minute I tried my very first case."
"Impressive. And what sort of case was that?" asked the investment
counselor.
The lawyer squirmed in his seat and admitted, "He sued me for
the money."
