司法笑话|Donations To The United Way

The local United Way office realized that it had never received a donation from the town's most successful lawyer, so a volunteer was sent to solicit^{1 his donation.}

Sir, you have a successful law practice. You must be worth millions. Surely you could give back a little to your community through The United Way.

The lawyer said, First, are you aware that my mother is dying from a long, painful illness? And that she has medical bills far beyond her ability to pay?

Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbled^{2, Uh, no.}

Second, did you know my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind, confined to a wheelchair, and unable to support his wife and six children?

The stricken United Way rep mumbled another, Uh, no.

Third, do you realize that my sister's husband died in a dreadful traffic accident leaving her penniless, with a huge mortgage and three young children?

The United Way rep was humiliated^{3. No, sir. I had no idea.}

The lawyer concluded, Well, then. If I don't give any money to them, why do you think I'd give any to you?!
