They told this joke:<br /><br />A lawyer calls a plumber, who promptly fixes his problem. They the plumber says that will be $200/hr. <br /><br />The attorney says, "I'm one of the best attorneys in town. I don't charge $200/hr!"<br /><br />And the plumber says, "When I was one of the best attorneys in town, I didn't either."<br />Karl W.
