A Red Cross worker is cold calling people for donations and comes across a lawyer where records shows he makes $500k+ a year and hasn’t made a single charitable donation. So the Red Cross worker calls the lawyer and asks if he’d like to donate.
The lawyer says “No “,thank you.”
The Red Cross worker replies, “Well, my records show that you make over half a million a year and haven’t made a single charitable donation so why can’t you help us out? I’m sure you can afford at least a small donation…”
The lawyer replies, “Oh really, well do your records tell you about my brother who served in the war and is in a coma with extremely expensive hospital bills? Or what about my mother? Do they tell you about how she’s sick with even more expensive hospital bills year after year?”
At this point the Red Cross worker is very embarrassed and says “I’m sorry sir, I had no idea.”
And the lawyer continues “So if I’m not helping them out what makes you think I’d help you out?”
