Joe grew up in Jamaica, then moved away to attend college and law
school.

He decided to come back to Jamaica because he felt he could be a Big
Shot at home. He really wanted to impress everyone. So he returned and
opened his new law office in New Kingston.

The first day, he saw a man coming up the passageway. He decided to
make a big impression on this potential client when he arrived. As the
man came to the door Joe picked up the phone. He

motioned the man in, all the while talking. "No. Absolutely not. You
tell those clowns in New York that I won't settle this case for less
than one million. Yes, the Appeals Court has agreed to hear that case
next week. I'll be handling the primary argument and the other members
of my team will provide support. Okay, tell the DA that I'll meet with
him next week to discuss the details."

The "conversation" went on for almost five minutes. All the while the
man sat patiently as Joe rattled off instructions. Finally, Joe put
down the phone and turned to the man, "I'm sorry for the delay but as
you can see, I'm very busy. What can I do for you?" The man replied,
"I'm from Cable & Wireless, the telephone company, I come to hook up
your phone."
