A local charity office realized that it had never received a donation from the town?s most successful lawyer. The director called him, hoping to get a contribution.
?Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least $500,000, you?ve given not a penny to charity. Wouldn?t you like to give back to the community in some way??
The lawyer replied, ?First, did your research also show that my mother is dying after a long illness, and has medical bills that are several times her annual income??
Embarrassed, the director mumbled, ?Um?no.?
?Or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?? The stricken director began to stammer out an apology but was interrupted. ? Or that my sister?s husband died in a car accident,? the lawyer?s voice rising in indignation, ?leaving her penniless with three children?!?
The humiliated director said simply, ?I had no idea??
?So if I don?t give any money to them, why the hell would I give any to you??
