Consultation

A lawyer's dog, running about unleashed, beelines for the local butcher shop
and steals a roast off the counter. The butcher goes to the lawyer's office and
asks, "if a dog, running unleashed, steals a piece of meat from my store, do I
have a right to demand payment for the meat from the dog's owner?" "Absolutely,"
the lawyer responded. The butcher immediately shot back, "Good! You owe me $7.99
for the roast your dog stole from me this morning." The lawyer, without a word,
writes the butcher a check for $7.99. A few days later, the butcher, browsing
through his mail, finds an envelope from the lawyer. The contents read
"Consultation: $25.00."
