	    An independent woman 
started her own business. She was shrewd and diligent, so business kept 
coming in. Pretty soon she realized she needed an in-house counsel, and 
so she began interviewing young lawyers.

"As I'm sure you can understand," she started off with one of the first 
applicants, "in a business like this, our personal integrity must be 
beyond question." She leaned forward. "Mr. Peterson, are you an 'honest'
 lawyer?"

"Honest?" replied the job prospect. "Let me tell you something about 
honest. Why, I'm so honest that my dad lent me fifteen thousand dollars 
for my education and I paid back every penny the minute I tried my very 
first case."

"Impressive. And what sort of case was that?"

He squirmed in his seat and admitted, "My dad sued me for the money."
