A Lawyer Was Pretty Sure He Was Going To Lose His Case.

A young lawyer was defending a wealthy businessman in a complicated lawsuit.

Unfortunately, the evidence was against his client, and he feared the worst.

So, the lawyer asked the senior partner of his law firm if it would be appropriate to send the judge a box of Cuban cigars.

The partner was horrified.

“A judge is an honourable man,” the partner exclaimed.

“If you do that, I guarantee you will lose the case!”

Weeks later the judge ruled in favour of the lawyer’s client.

The partner took him to lunch to congratulate him.

“Aren’t you glad you didn’t send those cigars to the judge?” the partner asked.

But I did send them,” answered the lawyer.

“I just enclosed the plaintiff’s business card.”
