A dog ran into a butcher’s shop and grabbed a steak from the counter. Fortunately, the butcher recognized the dog as belonging to a neighbour of his. The neighbour happened to be a lawyer. Annoyed about the theft, the butcher phoned his neighbour and said, “Hey, if your dog stole a steak from my shop, would you be liable for the cost of the meat?”
The lawyer replied, “Of course. How much was the steak?”
“£4.98,” said the butcher.
A few days later, the butcher received a cheque in the post for £4.98. Attached to it was an invoice that read ‘Legal Consultation Service: £95.00 + VAT.’
