A lawyer charged a man $1,000 for legal services. The man paid him in cash with crisp new $100 bills. After the client left, the lawyer discovered that two bills had stuck together -- he'd been overpaid by $100. The ethical dilemma for the lawyer: Should he tell his partner? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= A man walked into a lawyer's office and inquired about the lawyer's rates. "$50.00 for three questions", replied the lawyer. "Isn't that awfully steep?" asked the man. "Yes, indeed." the lawyer replied, "And what was your third question?" =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ms. Quisenberry, receptionist at a noted law firm, answered the phone the morning after the firm's senior partner had passed away, quite unexpectedly. "Is Mr. Smith there?" asked the client on the phone. "I'm very sorry, but Mr. Smith passed away last night," Ms.Q replied. "Is Mr. Smith there?" repeated the client. The receptionist was perplexed. "Perhaps you didn't understand me. I'm afraid Mr. Smith passed away last night." "Yes. Is Mr. Smith there?" asked the client, yet again. "Really, sir! Do you understand what I'm saying?" queried the exasperated receptionist. "Mr. Smith is dead." "I understand you perfectly," sighed the client. "I just can't hear it often enough."

It reduces complaints about low pay. 4. Employees tell management what they think, not what management wants to hear. 5. Increase job satisfaction because if you have a bad job, you don't care. 6. It eliminates vacations because people would rather come to work. 7. Bosses are more likely to hand out raises when they are wasted. 8. Employees work later since there's no longer a need to relax at the bar. 9. Employees no longer need coffee to sober up. 10. Sitting on the copy machine will no longer be seen as "gross."
