Joe grew up in a small town, then moved away to attend college and law school.

He decided to come back to the small town because he could be a big man in this

small town. He really wanted to impress everyone. He opened his new law office,

but business was very slow at first. One day, he saw a man coming up the

sidewalk. He decided to make a big impression on this new client when he

arrived.

As the man came to the door, Joe picked up the phone. He

motioned the man in, all the while talking..

No. Absolutely not. You

tell those clowns in New York that I won't settle this case for less than one

Yes. The Appeals Court has agreed to hear that case next

week. I'll be handling the primary argument and the other members of my team

will provide support..

Okay. Tell the DA that I'll meet with him next

week to discuss the details..

This sort of thing went on for almost 5

minutes. All the while the man sat patiently as Joe rattled instructions.

Finally, Joe put down the phone and turned to the man. I'm sorry for the delay,

The man
