An attorney sensing he could become famous decided he would try a law suit to end all law suits. So he cooked up a plan to find a client from the local phone book and after randomly selecting one, he placed his call. Then when the call was answered the man said, “Mr. Smith, I would like to help the both of us become really famous and really rich.”
The older man on the other end of the phone replied, “Yes and how would you do that?”
The attorney salivating as he licked his lips chimed out, “Well I would like to propose that we sue all Churches in the city for breach of trust, neglect, embezzlement and tax fraud.”
“Oh,” said the older man.
“Yes we will sue all the churches in town for not coming to your aid in times of trouble. Refusing to offer you care when you were in need. Taking your offerings and never returning a dime of your investment and then refusing to offer you proof for your tax return of your payments. Now how does that sound?” The attorney slobbered.
“Hum, well, go on,” the old man whimsically retorted.
“We will sue them all for $100 Million dollars,” the attorney snorted and then snickered with, “You and I will be rich and I will be famous for suing God.”
The old man on the other end of the call then calmly asked, “What if all of this you just told me was really true? Would you really sue them?”
The attorney was so hyped up he could barely control himself as he exclaimed, “Oh yes and if it were true it wouldn’t matter, we aren’t concerned with the truth, just the rewards of using the law.”
Then the old man asked, “Would you still sue them if I said that the churches have always supported me?”
“Sure,” the attorney snapped and then added, “True, false, maybe or anything else I would sue them. It’s a chance for us to be famous.”
The old man cleared his throat and replied, “I already am.”
The attorney stopped and said, “Oh yes. Well Mr. Smith I had no ideal you were famous. I picked your name because you live in the poorest section of town with the other welfare recipients.”
To which the old man responded with, “But I am. Ask me how I am.”
The attorney slightly deflated now, interjected with, “Alright sir, explain what fame you have?”
“Well I am well known for my ability to heal. I am also known for my higher understanding of life. I am really well known for my last job,” the man said.
“Were you in the Congress or Senate?” the attorney snapped in a worried frightened tone.
“No. I was crucified by your relatives,” the voice replied.
Which goes to prove that even the smartest Liberal Con Man – Attorney can’t fool God.
