The staff at a local United Way office realized that it had never received a donation from the towns most successful lawyer.
The person in charge of contributions called him to persuade him to contribute. Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least $500,000, you give not a penny to charity. Wouldnt you like to give back to the community in some way?
The lawyer mulled this over for a moment and replied, First, did your
research also show that my mother is dying after a long illness, and has
medical bills that are several times her annual income?
Embarrassed, the United Way representative mumbled, Um… No.
Or, the lawyer continued, that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?
The stricken United Way representative began to stammer out an apology but was interrupted when the lawyer added, Or that my sisters husband died in a traffic accident? the lawyers voice rising in indignation, Leaving her pennyless with three children?
The humiliated United Way representative, completely beaten, said
simply, I had no idea…
On a roll, the lawyer cut him off once again, So if I dont give any money to them, why should I give any to you?
