And why is that funny? Sounds more like reality to me

Some times the irony of life is just not funny and especially if such life has been spent being abused by financial vampires...

Okay, so a guy walks into a bar really pissed off, sits down, orders a drink, and says to the bartender "man, lawyers are assholes!"

Then the guy next to him turns around and goes "hey, buddy, I take offense to that!"

So the first guy looks at him and asks "why, are you a lawyer?"

And the second guy goes "no, I'm an asshole!"

But then even he realized that the 500 bucks was well worth the little that he did.

I don't know why but I pictured the lawyer as a woman.

I think it's the shes in the final paragraph

When she got off the phone and realized the old man’s mistake, the lawyer ran after him down the stairs and into the parking lot just as he drove away. Feeling frustrated, the lawyer looked at the check and decided to accept the situation philosophically. "Oh well," she said to herself, "$500 for half an hour’s work isn’t bad."

Just then, the phone rang and the lawyer got involved with a long call. Thinking the lawyer had said "$500," the old man wrote out his check and left.
