Legal Advice

A lawyer’s dog, running around unleashed, beelines for a butcher shop and steals a roast.
Angry, the butcher goes to the lawyer’s office and asks, “If a dog running unleashed steals a piece of meat from my store, do I have a right to demand payment for the meat from the dog’s owner?”
The lawyer answers, “Absolutely.”
“Then you owe me $35. Your dog was loose and stole a roast from me today.”
The lawyer, without a word, writes the butcher a check for $35 and the butcher walks away satisfied.
Not even a week later the butcher opens his mail and finds an envelope from the lawyer. Inside, he finds an invoice in the amount of $150 due for a consultation.
