I hope this hasn't been posted recently as I have not been "a part" of the GTP family for a while.

An independent woman started her own business.
She was shrewd and diligent, so business kept coming in. She
soon realized that she needed an in-house counsel, so she
began interviewing young lawyers.

"As I'm sure you can understand," she started off with
one of the first applicants, "in a business like this, our
personal integrity must be beyond question."

She leaned forward and asked: "Mr. Peterson, are you
an 'honest' lawyer?"

"Honest?" replied the job prospect. "Let me tell you something
about honest. Why, I'm so honest that my dad lent me $15,000
for my education and I paid back every penny the minute I tried
my very first case."

"Impressive. And what sort of case was that?"

"My dad sued me for the money."
