MATERIALISM: EXHIBIT A

A very successful lawyer parked his brand-new Lexus in front
of his office, ready to show it off to his colleagues. As
he got out, a truck passed too close and completely tore off
the door on the driver's side. The lawyer immediately grabbed
his cell phone, dialed 911, and within minutes a policeman
pulled up.

Before the officer had a chance to ask any questions, the lawyer
started screaming hysterically. His Lexus, which he had just
picked up the day before, was now completely ruined and would
never be the same, no matter what the body shop did to it.

When the lawyer finally wound down from his ranting and raving,
the officer shook his head in disgust and disbelief. "I can't
believe how materialistic you lawyers are," he said. "You are so
focused on your possessions that you don't notice anything else."

"How can you say such a thing?" asked the lawyer.

The cop replied, "Don't you know that your left arm is missing
from the elbow down? It must have been torn off when the truck
hit you."

"My God!" screamed the lawyer. "Where's my Rolex?"
