An investment counselor went out on her own. She was
shrewd and diligent, so business kept coming in, and pretty
soon she realized she needed an in-house counsel,
so she began interviewing young lawyers.
"As I'm sure you can understand," she started off with
one of the first applicants, "in a business like this, our
personal integrity must be beyond question." She leaned
forward. "Mr. Peterson, are you an *honest* lawyer?"
"Honest?" replied the job prospect. "Let me tell you
something about honesty. Why, I'm so honest that my
father lent me fifteen thousand dollars for my education
and I paid back every penny the minute I tried my very
first case."
"Impressive..... And what sort of case was that?"
The lawyer squirmed in his seat and admitted, "He
sued me for the money."
