Lawyer and Grass Joke

1. A lawyer riding in his limousine one day, suddenly
2. spotted two men eating grass on the side of the roadway.
3. Never having seen men graze before, he told his chauffeur
4. to stop the car. On speaking with the 2 men, the lawyer
5. learned that they ate the grass because they were too
6. poor to buy food.
7. The lawyer then encouraged the two men to accompany him
8. in his limousine to his home. The two men were overjoyed
9. by the lawyer's kind offer, but they told the lawyer that
10. they were unable to come because they could not leave
11. their families behind. The lawyer, without hesitating,
12. invited both men's families to come with him to his home.
13. Each family piled into the limousine, and they proceeded
14. to the home. Along the way, one of the men turned to the
15. lawyer, thanking him over and over for taking again their
16. poor families into his home.
17. The lawyer turned to the man, saying "Oh, that's no
18. trouble at all. The grass at my house is twice as tall
19. as that old field.
