A certain tax attorney took on a very complex case of tax evasion for a

rather mysterious client. He devoted over a year to the case, familiarizing

himself with every loophole and angle of current legislation, and made a

brilliant argument before the court.

His client was called out of town when the jury returned with its verdict, a

sweeping victory for his client on every count. Flushed with victor, the

lawyer exuberantly cabled his client, “Justice has triumphed!”

A realistic fellow, the client immediately wired back, “Appeal at once!”
