A lawyer's dog running about unleashed, entered a local
butcher’s shop and stole some meat off the counter. The butcher went to the
lawyer's office and asked the lawyer, "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 responded, "Absolutely." The
butcher immediately shot back, "Good! You owe me $7.99 for the meat your
dog stole from my shop this morning." Without a word, the lawyer wrote the
butcher a check for $7.99.
A few days later, the butcher, going through his mails, found
an envelope from the lawyer. The contents read, "Consultation:
$25.00."
