A local charity realised that it had never received a donation from the town's most successful lawyer. The volunteer in charge of contributions called him to persuade him to contribute.
"Our research shows that out of a yearly income of more than $600,000 you give not a penny to charity. Wouldn't you like to give back to the community in some way?"
The lawyer mulled this over for a moment and 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 charity rep mumbled "Um... No".
"Second, that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?" The stricken rep began to stammer out an apology but was put off.
"Third, that my sister's husband died in a traffic accident" the lawyer's voice rising in indignation "Leaving her penniless with three children?"
The humiliated rep, completely beaten, said simply "I had no idea..."
On a roll, the lawyer cut him off once again"... and I don't give any money to them, so why should I give any to you?!"
but to your credit, you hit it out of the park! And your right, we'll definitely need more than a few beers. But I'd be more than honored to hoist a few with all you Deplorables!
