Valerie

THE BROTHEL

 

The madam opened the brothel door and saw a rather dignified, well-dressed,

good-looking man in his late forties or early fifties.

 

 

'May I help you?' she asked.

 

'I want to see Valerie,' the man replied.

 

'Sir, Valerie is one of our most expensive ladies. Perhaps you would prefer

someone else,' said the madam.

 

'No. I must see Valerie,' he replied.

 

Just then, Valerie appeared and announced to the man that she charged $5,000 a visit. Without hesitation, the man pulled out five thousand dollars and

gave them to Valerie, and they went upstairs. After an hour, the man calmly

left.

 

The next night, the same man appeared again, once more demanding to see

Valerie.

 

Valerie explained that no one had ever come back two nights in a row--too

expensive -- and there were no discounts. The price was still $5,000.

Again the man pulled out the money, gave it to Valerie, and they went upstairs. After an hour, he left.

 

The following night the man was there yet again. Everyone was astounded

that he had come for a third consecutive night, but he paid Valerie and they

went upstairs.

 

After their session, Valerie questioned the man. 'No one has ever been with

me three nights in a row. Where are you from?' she asked.

 

The man replied, ' North Carolina .'

 

'Really' she said. 'I have family in North Carolina ..'

 

'I know,' the man said. 'Your father died, and I am your sister's attorney.

She asked me to give you your $15,000 inheritance.'

 

The moral of the story is that three things in life are certain:

 

1. Death

2. Taxes

3. Being screwed by a lawyer
