Elias grew up in Beirut, then moved away to attend college and law in Oxford University.
He decided to come back to Beirut, because he could not be a big man in Oxford.
He really wanted to impress everyone. So he returned and opened his new law office.
The first day, he saw a man coming up the sidewalk. He decided to make a big impression on this new client when he arrived.
As the man came to the door Mr. Elias picked up the phone. He motioned the man in, all while talking "No. Absolutely no you tell those clowns in New York that I won't settle this case for less than one million. Yes. The Appeals Court has agreed to hear that case next week. I'll be handling the primary argument and the other members of my team will provide support. Okay. Tell the State Prosecutor that I'll meet with him next week to discuss the details."
This sort of thing went on for almost five minutes. All the while the man sat patiently as Elias rattled instructions.
Finally, Elias put down the phone and turned to the man. 'I'm sorry for the delay, but as you can see, I'm very busy. What can I do for you?'
The man replied, 'I'm from OGERO (the Lebanese Telephone Company), I've come to connect your line!!!'
loooool....;-)
