A  golden Oldie Lawyer Joke


 The United Way of Kenya realized that it had never  received a donation from the city's most successful lawyer.

 

So a United Way  volunteer paid the lawyer a visit in his lavish office. 

 

 The volunteer  opened the meeting by saying,"Our research shows that even though your  annual  income is over twenty million Shillings, you don't give a penny to  charity. Wouldn't you like to give something back to your community through the  United Way?"

 

 

 The lawyer  thinks for a minute and says, "First, did your research also show you that my  mother is dying after a long, painful illness and she has huge medical bills  that are far beyond her ability to pay?"


 Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbles, "Uh... no, I  didn't know that."


 "Secondly," says the lawyer, "my brother, a disabled  veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair and is unable to support his wife  and six children."


 The stricken United Way rep begins to stammer an  apology, but is cut off again.


 "Thirdly, did your research also show you that my  sister's husband died in a dreadful car accident, leaving her penniless with a  mortgage and three children one of whom is disabled and another has learning  disabilities requiring an array of private tutors?"


 The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten,  says, "I'm sorry, I had no idea"


 And the lawyer says, "So... if I didn't give any  money to them, what in the hell makes you think I'd ever give any to  you?"

Have we raised the threshold of horror so high that nothing short of a nuclear strike qualifies as a 'real' war? Are we to spend the rest of our lives in this state of high alert with guns pointed at each other's heads and fingers trembling on the trigger ?

 

An end in terror is preferable to terror without end.

 

You've faced horrors in these past weeks... I don't know which is worse. The terror you feel the first time you witness such things, or the numbness that comes after it starts to become ordinary.

 

War always reaches the depths of horror because of idiots who perpetuate terror from generation to generation under the pretext of vengeance.
