He decided to come back to Sudbury because he felt he could be a big shot at home. He really wanted to impress everyone, so he returned and opened his new law office. The first day, he saw a man coming up the passageway. He decided to make a big impression on this new client when he arrived. As the man came to the door, Joe picked up the phone. He motioned the man in, all the while talking. "No. Absolutely not. You tell those clowns in Toronto that I won't settle this case for less than one million.

He decided to come back to Sudbury because he felt he could be a big shot
at home. He really wanted to impress everyone, so he returned and opened
his new law office.
The first day, he saw a man coming up the passageway. He decided to
make
a big impression on this new client when he arrived. As the man came to
the door, Joe picked up the phone. He motioned the man in, all the while
talking. "No. Absolutely not. You tell those clowns in Toronto that I
won't settle this case for less than one million. Yes, the Appeals Court
has agreed to hear that case next week. I'll be handling the primary
arguments and the other members of my team will provide support. Okay,
tell the Crown Attorney that I'll meet with him next week to discuss the
details."
The "conversation" went on for almost five minutes. All the while the
man
sat patiently as Joe rattled instructions. Finally, Joe put down the
phone and turned to the man, "I'm sorry for the delay but as you can see,
I'm very busy. What can I do for you?" The man replied, "I'm from Bell
