A local United Way office realized that the organization 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 rep mumbled, Um …. no.
The lawyer interrupts, or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?
The stricken United Way rep began to stammer out an apology, but was interrupted again.
or that my sisters husband died in a traffic accident, the lawyers voice rising in indignation, leaving her penniless with three children?!
The humiliated United Way rep, 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?
