The Lawyer and His Porsche
A very successful personal injury attorney parked his brand new Porsche Carrera GT in front of the office, ready to show it off to his colleagues.
As he got out, a truck came along, too close to the curb, and completely tore off his driver's door. Fortunately, an officer in a police car was close enough to see it happen and pulled up behind the accident, his lights flashing. But, before the cop had a chance to ask any questions, the lawyer started screaming hysterically about how his Porsche, which just came out of the showroom yesterday, was now completely ruined and would never be the same. No matter how hard any body shop tried to make it new again . . . he moaned that it was going to be a lost cause! He continued hollering for almost 15 minutes.
After the lawyer finally wound down from his rant, the cop shook his head in disgust and disbelief. "I can't believe how materialistic you lawyers are," he said. "You are so focused on your possessions that you neglect the most important things in your life."
"How can you say such a thing?" asked the lawyer.
The cop replied, "Don't you even realize that your left arm is missing? It got ripped off when the truck sideswiped you!!!"
"HOLY SHIT!" screamed the lawyer.
"MY ROLEX!" ....
