YoY
by Luke Duffy

Generous Lawyer

Irreverent, sexist and definitely not politically correct

Staff at a local charity office realises that they had never received a donation from the towns most successful lawyer, so the person in charge of contributions calls him to persuade him to contribute.

“Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least $500,000 you don’t give a penny to charity. Wouldn’t you like to give back to the community in some way?”

The lawyer mulls this over for a moment and replies: “Did you research show that my mother is dying after a long illness and has medical bills several times her annual income?”

Embarrassed, the charity rep mumbles “Um, no.”

The lawyer went on: “Or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?”

The stricken rep begins to stammer out an apology, but is interrupted again.

“Or that my sister’s husband died in a traffic accident,” the lawyer says, his voice rising in indignation, “leaving her penniless with three children?”

The humiliated charity man is completely beaten and says: “I’m so sorry, I had no idea!”

“Right,” says the lawyer “so if I don’t give any money to them, what makes you think I’d give any to you?”

It’s a fact!

Animals that lay eggs don’t have belly buttons.

If you attempted to count the stars in a galaxy at a rate of one every second, it would take around 3000 years to count them all.

A tigers paw prints are called pug marks.
