A conundrum

[Baker, John]

        Boy, does that lawyer ever have a money-losing business model.
The third question is going to be something like "What are the
implications of SEC Rule 10b-5 for my business?"  It's no wonder that
the typical lawyer would answer the first two questions for free.

Client to lawyer: How much do you charge?
Lawyer: $300 for 3 questions.
Client: Isn't that a lot?
Lawyer: Yes. Now what is your last question?
