A charity had never recieved a donation from the town's most successful lawyer.The director called to seek a contribution.
"Our records show you make $5000,000 a year,yet you haven't given a cent to charity", the director said."wouldn't you like to help the community?"
The lawyer replied,"Do your records show that my mother has medical bills several times her annual income?"
"Um, no," mumbled the director.
"Or that my brother is blind and jobless?" Horrified,the director began to stammer out an apology.
"Or that my sister's husband died in an accident,leaving her penniless with three children?"
The humiliated director said simply."I had no idea."
"So, said the lawyers."if I dont give any money to them,why would I give any to you?"
