An Honest Lawyer?

An investment counsellor went out on her own. She was shrewd and diligent, so business kept coming in, and pretty soon she realised she needed an in-house counsel, so she began interviewing young lawyers.

As Im 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, Im 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.
