Lawyer Joke The best lawyer story in a long time.... The United Way realized that it had never received a donation from the city's most successful lawyer. So a United Way volunteer paid the lawyer a visit in his lavish office. The volunteer opened the meeting by saying, 'Our research shows that even though your annual income is over two million dollars, you don't give a penny to charity.' Wouldn't you like to give something back to your community through the United Way ? The lawyer thinks for a minute and says, 'First, did your research also show you that my mother is dying after a long, painful illness and she has huge medical bills that are far beyond her ability to pay?' Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbles, 'Uh... no, I didn't know that.' 'Secondly,' says the lawyer, ' did it show that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair and is unable to support his wife and six children? The stricken United Way rep begins to stammer an apology, but is cut off again. Thirdly, did your research also show you that my sister's husband died in dreadful car accident, leaving her penniless with a mortgage and three children, one of whom is disabled and another that has learning disabilities requiring an array of private tutors? The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, says, 'I'm so sorry, I had no idea. And the lawyer says, 'So...if I didn't give any money to them, what makes you think I'd give any to you? |

And the funny thing is, those people he described are the ones who the united Way would help, but of course they probably earned to much income to qualify United Way can kiss my ass. I will never give them a cent |

I will never give them a cent After being nagged for over a year from my boss to give to the United Way so that he would have 100% of his employees contributing I finally broke down and agreed to give 1 penny per week just to shut him up. After hearing what the President of United Way makes I shouldn't have given the penny per week! |

I sit there and listen to the BS they spew every year, and as long as I work for who i do, they will never get 100% of people contributing |
