The big shot

Joe grew up in a small town, then moved 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. So he returned and opened
his new law office.

The first 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. 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 five
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."
