Standing By The Fire
During the wild west days many travelers sought shelter from the cold winter nights and the bitter weather that met them on the road. On one night such as this a traveler walked into an inn hoping to find some shelter.
The innkeeper led the man to a table and was able to provide him with some food and a good drink. “I’m terribly sorry that I can’t seat you next to the fire, sir, but court is in session and the lawyers are taking up all that space.”
As the man ate and warmed up, he thanked the innkeeper for his hospitality. One of the lawyers commented to the man, “Why stranger, by the looks of you, you traveled through hell and back in order to get here.”
“That’s right,” said the man. “It is?” asked the lawyer. “Tell us then, how did you find things in hell?”
“Just like here,” the man replied, “lawyers all closest to the fire.”
