Charity begins at home

2006-12-22T09:08:00.000-05:00

A local charity realized that it had never received a donation from the city's most successful lawyer. So a charity volunteer paid the lawyer a visit in his lavish office.

The volunteer opened the meeting by saying, "Our research shows that even though your annual income is over two million dollars, you don't give a cent y to charity. Wouldn't you like to give something back to your community by donating some money to our charity

The lawyer thinks for a minute and says, "First, did your research also show you that my mother is dying after a long, painful illness and she has huge medical bills that are far beyond her ability to pay?"

Embarrassed, the charity volunteer mumbles, "Uh... no, I didn't know that."

"Secondly," says the lawyer, "my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair and is unable to support his wife and six children." The stricken charity worker begins to apologise, but is cut off again.

"Thirdly, did your research also show you that my sister's husband died in dreadful car accident, leaving her penniless with a mortgage and three children, one of whom is disabled and another that has learning disabilities requiring an array of private tutors?"

The humiliated charity worker, completely beaten, says, "I'm so sorry, I had no idea."

And the lawyer says, "So...if I didn't give any money to them, what makes you think I'd give any to you?"

A man went into a motorcycle shop. He spent a couple of hours looking over the bikes and taking them for test drives. He narrowed his choice to two bikes. One had a really high top speed, but its acceleration was poor. The second had a lower top speed, but it had a lot of torque and accelerated quickly. Eventually, he decided to buy the second bike. It cost a lot less, because torque is cheap.
