A doctor and a lawyer were talking at a party. Their conversation was constantly interrupted by people describing their ailments1 and asking the doctor for free medical advice. After an hour of this, the exasperated2 doctor asked the lawyer, What do you do to sTOP people from asking you for legal advice when you're out of the office?
I give it to them, replied the lawyer, and then I send them a bill. The doctor was shocked, but agreed to give it a try. The next day, still feeling slightly guilty, the doctor prepared the bills. When he went to place them in his mailbox, he found a bill from the lawyer.
大夫和律师正在一个宴会上交谈。他们的谈话常被一些人打断,那些人向大夫描述我们的病症,期望获得不收费的治疗建议。这样这般一个钟头后,大夫有点恼火,于是他问律师:假如不在办公时间,你是如何阻止大家向你咨询法律问题的?
我会给他们建议,律师回答,然后我会给他们寄去帐单。大夫非常震撼,但他还是决定这么尝试一下。第二天,携带点犯罪感,他筹备了帐单。当他筹备将它们放到邮箱里时,发现了一张来自律师的帐单。
