Show WRONG SIDE OF FENCE A farmer was telling his lawyer about the dispute he was having with a neighbor over the proper location loca-tion of a boundary line. Carefully he went over every detail, and finally awaited an opinion. "I don't see how you can lose this," said the man of the law. "The precedents on a matter like that go right back to the colonial courts. My fee for handling the matter would be 10 dollars for my opinion and 40 dollars for the court work. I don't think, in fact I am sure, that there won't be any appeal." Slowly the farmer got up, extracted ex-tracted his wallet from a pocket, laid a 10 dollar bill on the desk, and turned to go. "Don't you want to go ahead with this?" the lawyer asked. "I don't see how I can," was the moody reply, "I was giving you my neighbor's case." |
