A local charity office realized that it had never received a donation from the towns most successful lawyer. The director called him, hoping to get a contribution. "Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least �500,000, you've given not a penny to charity. Wouldn't you like to give back to the community in some way?"
The lawyer replied, "First, did your research also show that my mother is dying after a long illness, and has medical bills that are several times her annual income?"
Embarrassed, the director mumbled, Um...no.
"Or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?" The stricken director began to stammer out an apology but was interrupted. "Or that my sister's husband died in a car accident" the lawyers voice rising in indignation, "leaving her penniless with three children?!"
The humiliated director said simply, "I had no idea"
"So if I don't give any money to them, why the hell would I give any to you?"
