A Black lawyer enters a law firm
A black lawyer enters a law firm.
A Jewish lawyer and a Sicilian lawyer greet him in the meeting room.
"Gentlemen," the black lawyer says, "I'm afraid this meeting will be a short one so forgive my curtness. My client has decided to continue with litigation despite the offer presented to us. There is no going back at this point. Please inform your client that this isn't about money so increasing the settlement amount will be moot. For you see, my client wants justice. I would also add that any private contact between your client and mine will cease from this moment on. Discussions of any sort will be between legal representation and no one else. Also, any discussion between us as counselors will be transcribed by a stenographer so that there are no more...misunderstandings. I hope I am clear with our demands. I bid you both good day."
The black lawyer leaves.
"Well,” the Jewish lawyer says to the Sicilian lawyer, “what do you think?"
The Sicilian lawyer replies, "He sounds like he's really serious!"
