Mr Wilson was the chairman of the United Way, which had never received
a donation from the most successful lawyer in town. He called on the attorney
in an attempt to persuade him mend his ways. "Our research shows that you
made a profit of over $600,000 last year, and yet you have not given a dime to
the community charities! What do you have to say for yourself?"
The lawyer replied, "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? Do you know about my brother, the disabled veteran, who is blind
and in a wheelchair? Do you know about my sister, whose husband died in a
traffic accident, leaving her penniless with three children?"
Sheepishly, the charity solicitor admitted that he had no knowledge of
any of this.
"Well, since I don't give
any money to them, why should I give any to you?"
