Your Dog Is a Thief
A lawyer’s dog, running around town unleashed, heads for a butcher shop and steals a roast. The butcher goes to the lawyer’s office and asks, “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 answers, “Absolutely.”
“Then you owe me $8.50. Your dog was loose and stole a roast from me today.”
The lawyer writes the butcher a check for $8.50. The butcher leaves feeling vindicated.
Three days later, the butcher finds a bill from the lawyer: $100 due for a consultation.
