A doctor and a lawyer were talking at a party.
Their conversation was constantly interrupted by people describing their ailments and asking the doctor for free medical advice.
After an hour of this, the exasperated doctor asked the lawyer, "What do you do to stop people from asking you for legal advice when you're out of the office?"
"I give it to them," replied the lawyer, "and then I send them a bill."
The doctor was shocked, but agreed to give it a try.
The next day, still feeling slightly guilty, the doctor prepared the bills.
When he went to place them in his mailbox, he found a bill from the lawyer.

The house was a rambling 1920's mansion on the Detroit Golf Course. It was going to be a tough home to measure. My gentle tapping on the front door brought forth an angry, rapid-fire bark from the other side of the entry. The owner appeared a moment later, standing with his arms folded, staring and not saying a word. I introduced myself and explained that it would be best if he let the dog out after I measured the house, the owner nodded and closed the door.
I began to measure the house, but kept feeling as though someone or something was watching me. As I momentarily looked up from measuring, I saw it, a huge monster dog. The dog's gaze was locked on me like heat seeking missiles. Slowly and deliberately, with head hung low and tail straight, the dog moved into my comfort zone. I immediately began to consider my options: should I yell and scream, run for it, or play it cool? "Good doggy, that's a good puppy dog," I said in a pleasant voice in an attempt to calm the beast.
I began to nervously whistle, which brought forth a poke from the dog's massive head to my mid section. The dog set his giant paws on my shoulders and faced me with his muzzle inches away from my face. His paws reminded me of two Buick hubcaps. The dogs muddy paws began to hurt my shoulders and his foul breath was steamy. The time had come to make my move.
I spun and sprinted as quickly as my middle-aged legs would carry me to the fence. I sized up the fence and was pleased to find how quickly I was able to hurdle over the top. I tumbled over and fell down a deep ravine, dropping all of my work gear along the way.
After catching my breath, I bravely continued the rest of the inspection, but vaguely remember how it ended. Possibly, this was due to the large influx of adrenaline rush at the time of peril, which as I have heard can cause temporary memory loss.
