There was a job opening in the country's most prestigious law
firm and it finally comes down to Robert and Paul. Both graduated
magna cum laude from law school. Both come from good families.
Both are equally attractive and well-spoken. It's up to the
senior partner to choose one, so he takes each aside and asks,
"Why did you become a lawyer?"
In seconds, he chooses Paul.
Baffled, Robert takes Paul aside. "I don't understand why I
was
rejected. When Mr. Armstrong asked me why I became a lawyer, I
said that I had the greatest respect for the law, that I'd lay
down my life for the Constitution and that all I wanted was to do
right by my clients. What in the world did you tell him?"
"I said I became a lawyer because of my hands," Robert
replies.
"Your hands? What do you mean?"
"Well, I took a look one day and there wasn't any money in either
of them!"
