USD50 Lawyer

Two lawyers, Jon and Amanpreet, head out for their usual 9 holes ofgolf. Jon offers Amanpreet a $50 bet. Amanpreet agrees and they'reoff. They shoot a great game. After the 8th hole, Amanpreet is aheadby one stroke, but cuts his ball into the rough on the 9th.''

Help me find my ball. Look over there,'' he says to Jon. After a fewminutes, neither has any luck. Since a lost ball carries a four pointpenalty, Amanpreet secretly pulls a ball from his pocket and tosses itto the ground. ''I've found my ball!'' he announces.''After all of the years we've been partners and playing together,"Jon says, "you'd cheat me out of a lousy 50 bucks?''

''What do you mean, cheat? I found my ball sitting right there!''''And you're a liar, too!'' Jon says. ''I'll have you know I've beenSTANDING on your ball for the last five minutes!''

Lawyers are among the most distrusted professionals, even in Malaysia. They pad the documents with language that is most difficult to understand so that we are at their mercy.
