IJMC - What's One Less Lawyer?

I'd say it isn't quite even a good start, although the intentions might 
be in the proper order. I still like an idea I found in a book years 
ago...give all the lawyers until a certain date to find other jobs and 
then kill the fools that kept on as lawyers. All gone.            -dave






  The local United Way office realized that it had never received a
  donation from the town's most successful lawyer.

  The volunteer in charge of contributions called him to persuade him
  to contribute.  "Our research shows that out of a yearly income of
  more than $600,000 you give not a penny to charity.  Wouldn't you
  like to give back to the community in some way?"

  The lawyer mulled this over for a moment and replied, "First, Did
  you research also show that my mother is dying after a long illness,
  and has medical bills that are several times her annual income?"

  Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbled, "Um... No."

  "Second, that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined
   to a wheelchair?"

  The stricken United Way rep began to stammer out an apology but
  was cut off.  "Third, that my sister's husband died in a traffic
  accident," the lawyer's voice rising in indignation, "Leaving her
  penniless with three children?!"

  The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, said simply,
  "I had no idea..."

  On a roll, the lawyer cut him off once again,"...And I don't give any
  money to them, so why should I give any to you ?!?"
