A local United Way office realized that it had never    received a donation from the town's most successful lawyer. 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."

"-or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a    wheelchair?" The sicken United Way rep began to stammer out an    apology but was interrupted, "-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?"
