AS HIS........ Advocate Da Gama's dog, running around town unleashed, heads for a butcher shop and steals a large piece of meat. The Butcher goes to Advocate Da Gama's office and asks: Butcher: Adv. Da Gama, would you be kind enough to give me little advice. Adv. Da Gama: Oh sure. Butcher: If a dog running unleashed steals a piece of meat from my shop, do I have a right to demand payment for the meat from the dog's owner? Adv. Da Gama: Absolutely.
Butcher: Then you owe me Rs.240/=. Your dog was loose and stole a large piece of meat from me today. Adv. Da Gama, without a word, writes the Butcher a cheque for Rs.300/=. The Butcher having a feeling of satisfaction that instead of Rs.240/= he got the cheque of Rs.300/=, leaves happily. Five days later, the Butcher finds a bill from the lawyer: Rs.5000/= due as his consultations fees. Cajetan de Sanvordem Kuwait.
