Justin Wilson StoryTime: Lawyer

Mr. Wilson has a great story to tell us!

Meet a Cajun Lawyer

“And while that’s cooking like that, I may just tell you all story. I got a young friend that studied to be a lawyer. You know how that is.

I’ll put this down to medium low, down the low.

And when he when he got finished school, he was so broke. He didn’t have enough money to go running off to anything else. And a fine gentleman will get him and say, ‘Look, I’ve got a place I just finished, and you go use that for a month until you can make enough money to rent you an office.’

And he says, ‘Oh, you see, man. I’d appreciate that. I garontee it, I really do.’

When you say, you just go in there and just that’s that’s your office.

Okay. Thank you, sir.

While he went down, there was a desk there, and a phone sitting on it, and all that, and he’s, ‘man, I’m feeling so good and just got a new concrete walk going up to it.’

And what tickled me is that this story is true.

And he heard somebody coming up the walk. In the region, you got that telephone, put it on his head like that. The man now just says, ‘come in and brought yourself in there.’

Speaking on the phone, says, ‘Yeah. Oh, no. No. We can’t do that. No. Can’t go there. No. That’s not enough. No. No. Not $25,000. It’s got to go for $50,000. No. We’re not gonna do a thing. $50,000. Is that right? Okay.’ And he hung the phone.

He said, ‘What can I do for you?’

Man says: ‘I’m from the phone company. I wanna connect up your telephone.”
