A guy walks into a lawyer’s office, looking more stressed than a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. He plops down in the chair and says, “Boy, do I have a problem?! My neighbor owes me 500 bucks, and he’s refusing to pay up!”
The lawyer leans back, twirling his pen like he’s auditioning for a drum major position. “Well, my friend, do you have any proof he owes you this money?”
Our stressed-out hero deflates like a sad balloon. “Nope, not a shred.”
Now, here’s where it gets good. The lawyer’s eyes light up like he just won the lottery. “Alright, here’s what you’re gonna do. Write him a letter demanding the $1,000 he owes you.”
The guy’s eyebrows shoot up so fast they nearly fly off his face. “But… it’s only $500!”
The lawyer grins like the cat that ate the canary. “Exactly! That’s what he’ll write back, and boom! You’ve got your proof!”
As our guy walks out, you can practically see the lightbulb over his head. Who knew lawyers could be so crafty?
