A 6th-grade teacher posed the following problem to one of her arithmetic classes:
“A wealthy man dies and leaves ten million dollars.
One-fifth is to go to his wife, one-fifth is to go to his son, one-sixth to his butler, and the rest to charity.
Now, what does each get?”
After a very long silence in the classroom, one little boy raised his hand.

.
With complete sincerity in his voice, answered, “A lawyer!”
An electrician hands a lawyer a bill.
An electrician finishes repairing some faulty wiring in a lawyer’s home and hands him the bill.
The lawyer gets angry: “Four hundred dollars! Just for an hour’s work? That’s absurd! I’m a lawyer myself, and I don’t even charge that much.”
…
..
.
The electrician replies, ”Funny, when I was an attorney I didn’t either!”
