Typical Lawyer

A dog ran into a butcher(屠夫；卖肉者) shop and grabbed(抓取) a roast(烤肉) off the counter. Fortunately, the butcher recognized the dog as belonging to a neighbor of his. The neighbor happened to be a lawyer.

Incensed(使发怒；激怒) 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(有(法律)责任的) for the cost of the meat?"

The lawyer replied, "Of course, how much was the roast?"

"'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.
