The person in charge of contributions called him to persuade him to contribute.'Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least $500,000, you give not a penny to charity. Wouldn't you like to give back to the community in some way?'The lawyer mulled this over for a moment and replied, 'First, did your research also show that my mother is dying after a long illness, and has medical bills that are several times her annual income?'Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbled, 'Um ... no.'The lawyer interrupts, 'or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?'The stricken United Way rep began to stammer out an apology, but was interrupted again.'or that my sister's husband died in a traffic accident,' the lawyer's voice rising in indignation, 'leaving her penniless with three children?!'The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, said simply, 'I had no idea...'On a roll, the lawyer cut him off once again, 'So if I don't give any money to them, why should I give any to you?'"
