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," Paul replies.
"Your hands? What do you mean?"
"Well, I took a look one day and there
wasn’t any money in either of them!"
