成寒部落格

　　An investment   counselor decided to go out 

　　　　　  　
　　　　　　
on  her  own. She was shrewd and diligent, so 

business kept coming in, and pretty soon she realized 

that she needed an in-house  counsel. She began to 

interview 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?"

　　The lawyer squirmed in his seat and admitted, 

"He sued me for the money."
