A young lawyer, defending a businessman in a lawsuit, feared he was
losing the case and asked his senior partner if he should send a box of
cigars to the judge to curry favor. The senior partner was horrified.
“The judge is an honorable man,” he said, “If you do that, I guarantee
you’ll lose the case!” Eventually, the judge ruled in the young lawyers
favor. “Aren’t you glad you didn’t send those cigars?” the senior
partner asked. “Oh, I did send them,” the younger lawyer replied. “I
just enclosed my opponents business card with them.”
