A lawyer calls up a plumber to come out to his house…
The plumber takes a look and says, OK, I can fix it today, and it will be $800.
The lawyer raises an eyebrow and asks, how long will it take?
The plumber responds, “well, I need about an hour round trip to the supply house for a part, and then it should take me about an hour for the repair”
The lawyer smirks and says, “two hours? For $800? Thats $400 per hour! I’m a lawyer and my hourly rate is $350 / hour!”
The plumber nods and says, “yes, sir, I understand. Why is it you think I gave up my law practice?”
