how much was the roast?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

A dog ran into a butcher shop
 and grabbed a roast off the counter. Fortunately, the butcher 
recognized the dog as belonging to a neighbor of his. The neighbor 
happened to be a lawyer. Incensed at the theft, the butcher called up 
his neighbor and said, "Hey, if your dog stole a roast from my butcher 
shop, would you be liable for the cost of the meat?" The lawyer replied,
 "Of course, how much was the roast?" "$7.98."

A few days later the butcher received a check in the mail for $7.98. 
Attached to it was an invoice that read: Legal Consultation Service: 
$150 .
