A very successful lawyer parked his brand-new BMW in
front of his office, ready to show it off to his
colleagues. As he got out, a truck passed too close
and completely tore off the door on the driver's side.
The lawyer immediately grabbed his cell phone, dialed
911, and within minutes a policeman pulled up. Before
the officer had a chance to ask any questions, the
lawyer started screaming hysterically. His BMW, which
he had just picked up the day before, was now
completely ruined and would never be the same, no
matter what the body shop did to it.
When the lawyer finally wound down from his ranting
and raving, the officer shook his head in disgust and
disbelief. "I can't believe how materialistic you
lawyers are," he said. "You are so focused on your
possessions that you don't notice anything else."
"How can you say such a thing?" asked the lawyer.
The cop replied, "Don't you know that your left arm is
missing from the elbow down? It must have been torn
off when the truck hit you."
"My God!" screamed the lawyer. "Where's my Rolex?"
