A
very successful lawyer parked his brand new Porsche in front of the
office, ready to show it off to his colleagues. As he got out, a
truck came along, too close to the curb, and completely tore off the
driver's door of the Porsche.
The counselor immediately grabbed his cell phone, dialed 911, and it
wasn't more than 5 minutes before a policeman pulled up.
Before the cop had a chance to ask any questions, the
lawyer started screaming hysterically.
His Porsche, which he had just picked up the day before, was now
completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter how the body
shop tried to make it new again.
After the lawyer finally wound down from his rant, the cop 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 neglect the most important things in life."
"How can you say such a thing?" asked the lawyer. The cop
replied, "My Gosh, don't you even realize that your left arm
is missing? It got ripped off when the truck hit you!" "OH MY
GOD!" screamed the lawyer. "My Rolex!"
