Gentle Humor: Doctors and Lawyers

May 10, 2008

Guy at a party upon meeting a lawyer: “See that woman across the room? She’s a doctor. At a party last week, I told her my knee had been giving me trouble and asked her opinion, and a few days later she sent me a bill for $100 for `consultation’. Can she do that legally?”

Lawyer: “Yes.”

One week later, the guy received a bill for $100 - from the lawyer.
