O
Outspoken but Honest
Guest
An investment counselor went out on her own.
She was shrewd and diligent, so business kept coming in, and pretty soon she realized she needed an in-house council, so she began interviewing young lawyers.
"As I`m sure you can understand," she started off with one of the first applicants, "in a business like this, our personal integrity must be beyond question."
She leaned forward. "Mr Peterson, are you an "Honest` lawyer?"
"Honest?" replied the job prospect. "Let me tell you something about honest. Why, I`m so honest that my father lent me $15,000 for my education and I paid back every penny the minute I tried my very first case."
"Impressive! And what sort of case was that?"
"He sued me for the money."
