Charity Begins At?

    A local Charity office realized that the organization had never received a donation from the town's most successful lawyer.
    The person in charge of contributions called him to persuade him to contribute.
    "Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least €900,000, you give not a penny to charity. Wouldn't you like to give back to the community in some way?"
    The lawyer mulled this over for a moment and replied,
    "First, did your research also show that my mother is dying after a long illness, and has medical bills that are several times her annual income?"
    Embarrassed, the Charity Rep mumbled, "Um ... no."
    The lawyer interrupts, "or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?"
    The stricken Charity Rep began to stammer out an apology,
    but was interrupted again.
    "or that my sister's husband died in a traffic accident," the lawyer's voice rising in indignation, "leaving her penniless with three children?!"
    The humiliated Charity Rep, completely beaten, said simply, "I had no idea..."
    On a roll, the lawyer cut him off once again,
    "So if I don't give any money to them, why should I give any to you?"
