A volunteer for the Red Cross asked a local prominent lawyer for a donation. He paced up and down for a while and said: "Lady, there are a few things you don't know about me. I have a very sick mother in very specialised expensive care. My father needs a $ 100,000 liver transplant. My oldest brother needs a new artificial arm and my younger brother needs $ 200 per day for his medication of a rare disease. I don't give them a dime. What makes you think you're going to get some?"
