There is a joke about a doctor going up to a lawyer at a party.  He asked
the lawyer if he could ask him a question.  The lawyer said he could. 
The doctor then said, "Whenever I am at a party or out socially I get
people coming up to me to ask me medical questions.  Do you think I
should charge them for this?"
The lawyer said, "Sure."
The doctor said, "Thank you!"
The lawyer replied, "You're welcome.  That will be $50."
