A dog ran into a butcher shop and grabbed a
roast off the counter.
Fortunately, the butcher
recognized the dog as belonging to a neighbor of his. The neighbor happened to be a
lawyer.
Incensed at the theft, the butcher called up his neighbor and said, "Hey, if your dog
stole a roast from my butcher shop, would you be liable for the cost of the meat?"
The lawyer replied, "Of course! How much was the roast?"
The butcher replied, "$7.98."
A few days later the butcher received a check in the mail for $7.98. Attached to it was an
invoice that read: Legal Consultation Service: $150.  Â
