Joe grew up in a small town, then moved 

        1646815187

away to attend college and law school. He
 

decided to come back to the small town because
 

he could be a big man in this small town. He
 

really wanted to impress everyone.
 


  He opened his new law office, but business 

was very slow at first. One day, he saw a man
 

coming up the 
sidewalk. He decided to make 

a big impression on this new 
 client  when he 

arrived.
 

  As the man came to the door, Joe picked 

up the phone and pretended to be some hot
 

shot lawyer. He
 motioned the man in, all the 

while talking...



  "No. Absolutely not. You tell those clowns 

in New York that I won't settle this case for
 

less than one million..."
 

  "Yes. The Appeals  Court has agreed to 

hear that case next week. I'll be handling
 

the primary argument and the other members
 

of my team will provide support..."
 

  "Okay. Tell the DA that I'll meet with 

him next week to discuss the details..."
 

  This sort of thing went on for almost 5 

minutes. All the while the man sat patiently
 

as Joe rattled instructions.
 

  Finally, Joe put down the phone and 

turned to the man.
 

  "I'm sorry for the delay, but as you can 

see, I'm very busy. What can I do for you?"
 

  The man replied "I'm  from the phone  

company.
 I came to hook up your phone."
