Funny Jokes - Donations the United Way
The local United Way office realized that it had never received a donation from the town's most successful lawyer, so a volunteer was sent to solicit his donation.
'Sir, you have a successful law practice. You must be worth millions. Surely you could give back a little to your community through The United Way.'
The lawyer said, 'First, are you aware that my mother is dying from a long, painful illness? And that she has medical bills far beyond her ability to pay?'
Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbled, 'Uh, no.'
'Second, did you know my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind, confined to a wheelchair, and unable to support his wife and six children?'
The stricken United Way rep mumbled another, 'Uh, no.'
'Third, do you realize that my sister's husband died in a dreadful traffic accident leaving her penniless, with a huge mortgage and three young children?'
The United Way rep was humiliated. 'No, sir. I had no idea.'
The lawyer concluded, 'Well, then. If I don't give any money to them, why do you think I'd give any to you?!'
