After successfully passing the bar exam, Allan opened up his own law office. One day he was sitting idly at his desk when his secretary announced that a Mr Jones had arrived to see him. "Show him in!" Allan exclaimed. An idea popped into his head and he quickly picked up the phone as his secretary was returning with the man. Allan shouted into the phone, "...and you can tell them that we won't accept less than sixty thousand, and don't call me again until you agree to that amount!" He slammed down the phone and stood up to greet his visitor. "Good morning, Mr Jones! What can I do for you?" "I'm from the phone company," Mr. Jones replied. "I'm here to connect your phone.". |
