"Donating" joke
A local United Way office realized that it had never received a donation from the town’s most successful lawyer. The person in charge of contributions called the lawyer up.
“Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least $400, 000, you give not a penny to charity. Wouldn’t you like to give back to the community in some way? ”
The lawyer mulled this over for a moment and replied, “First, 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? ”
Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbled, “Um…no. ”
“–or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair? ”
The stricken United Way rep began to stuttered an apology but was interrupted,
“–or that my sister’s husband died in a traffic accident, ” the lawyer’s voice rising in indignation, “leaving her broke with three children?! ”
The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, said simply, “I had no idea…”
On a roll, the lawyer cut him off once again: “So, if I don’t give any money to them, why should I give any to you?!!
