Burl’s jake-legged lawyer, the one he found through an ad in the back of Community Shopper, wowed him by only wanting 60 percent of any award. Burl, being Burl, got bored reading the contract and quit before he got to the part where his lawyer gets to charge expenses. He will eventually settle for $25,000, out of which the lawyer will take $15,000 plus $9,350 in expenses, leaving Burl enough for ten trips to the Golden Hoof Buffet.
