Lawyer Joke

I hate lawyer jokes and do not want to encourage them. But this one's pretty funny:

A young lawyer opens his practice and business is pretty slow. All of a sudden he hears footsteps in the hallway and in order to look busy he picks up the phone. When a man enters, the lawyer motions for him to sit down and yells into the phone, "Unless your client ups his offer to $1 million, we'll see you in court!" He slams down the phone and turns to the man and asks, "What can I do for you?" The man says, "I'm here from the telephone company to hook up your phone".
