The Faithful Lawyer
This lawyer was famous for taking rich individuals and corporations to the cleaners via persistent but cleverly designed lawsuits. The latest one involved his falling down in front of some fancy corporate headquarters and suing them for causing his whole body paralysis. The jury was impressed by his shenanigans and believed his outlandish story, awarding him a hefty $100 million!
After the trial, the CEO of the defendant corporation approached him, right in the courtroom where he was in a whole body cast: "This is it, we've had it with you, you're a two bit liar, that's all, and a thief. From now on, I'm assigning a team of PIs to monitor your every move 24*7*365 and if you twitch even your little finger, now or ten years from now, we'll sue you and put you in jail where you belong for the rest of your miserable life!"
"OK, folks," the lawyer smiled, "I understand. Let me help you, though, so that you don't spend any more of your shareholders' money unnecessarily: my staff are taking me to the airport, right now, where there's a chartered jet to fly me to Rome, where I'll be driven to the Vatican for a special meeting with the Pope to get his healing blessing. If you guys come along, you can see the whole thing with your own eyes. I have a feeling that there's going to be a tremendous miracle... I'll be cured!"
