Farmer And Attorney
Jests Home
AN opulent farmer applied to an attorney about a lawsuit, but was told
he could not undertake it, being already engaged on the other side; at
the same time he gave him a letter of recommendation to a professional
friend. The farmer, out of curiosity, opened it, and read as follows:--

And make 'em agree like brother and brother.
The perusal of this epistle cured both parties, and terminated the
dispute.
