Meeting Their Needs

There's a job opening in the country's most prestigious law firm and it
finally comes down to Robert and Paul. Both had graduated magna cum
laude from law school. Both came from good families. Both were equally
attractive and well spoken. It was up to the senior partner to choose
one, so he takes each aside and asks, "Why did you become a lawyer?" In
seconds, he chooses Paul.

Baffled, Robert takes Paul aside. "I don't understand why I was
rejected. When Mr. Armstrong asked me why I became a lawyer, I said
that I had the greatest respect for the law, that I'd lay down my life
for the Constitution and that all I wanted was to do right by my
clients. What in the world did you tell him?"

"I said I became a lawyer because of my hands," Robert replies.

"Your hands? What do you mean?"

"Well, I took a look one day and there wasn't any money in either of
them!"
