There was a job opening in the country's most prestigious law firm and
it finally came down to Robert and Paul. Both graduated magna cum
laude from law school. Both came from good families. Both were equally
attractive and well spoken. It was up to the senior partner to choose
one, so he took each aside and asked, "Why did you become a lawyer?"
In seconds, he chose Paul. Baffled, Robert took Paul aside. "I don't
understand why I was rejected. When Mr. Armstrong asked me why I
became a lawyer, I said that I had the greatest respect for the law,
that I'd lay down my life for the Constitution, and that all I wanted
was to do right by my clients. What in the world did you tell him?"
"I said I became a lawyer because of my hands," Robert replied.
"Your hands? What do you mean?"
"Well, I took a look one day and there wasn't any money in either of
them!"
