On the first day when Bruce opened his new legal practice he saw a man coming to his office and he  decided to make a big impression on his very first client.

As the man came to the door, Bruce picked up the phone. He motioned the man in, all the while talking:

"No, absolutely no. You tell those clowns in New York that we won't settle this case for less than one million. Yes. The Appeals Court has agreed to hear the case next week. I'll be handling the primary argument and the other members of my team will provide support. Okay. Tell the Attorney General that I'll meet with him next week to discuss the details."

The discussion went on like this for almost five minutes. All the while, the man sat patiently as Bruce rattled instructions. Finally Bruce 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 Telstra  - I've come to connect your phone".
