Lawyer And Her Dog

A dog ran into a butcher shop and grabbed a roast off the counter. Fortunately, the butcher recognized the dog as belonging to a neighbour of his.

The neighbour happened to be a lawyer. Incensed at the theft, the butcher called up his neighbour and said:

Hey, if your dog stole a roast from my butcher shop, would you be liable 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.
