A Doctor And Lawyer

A doctor and a lawyer were talking at a party. Their

conversation was constantly interrupted by people describing

their ailments and asking the doctor for free medical

advice. After an hour of this, the exasperated doctor asked

the lawyer, “What do you do to stop people from asking you

for legal advice when you’re out of the office?” “I

give it to them,” replied the lawyer, “and then I send

them a bill.” The doctor was shocked, but agreed to give

it a try. The next day, still feeling slightly guilty, the

doctor prepared the bills. When he went to place them in his

mailbox, he found a bill from the lawyer.
