He's flying high. He drives to the office the next Monday in shiny new threads with all of the most expensive trimming, driving the most expensive imported Bentley he can find. Everyone at the office needs to see this, he thinks, so he gets there super early to park right in front of the building, right on the street.
As he opens the door to get out of his Bentley, so new that he is still finding plastic stickers inside, a passing car speeds by, smashes into the door, and rips it right off. That driver never slows down, and speeds away.
The lawyer is beyond furious. He calls the police and demands they come that second so they can find and arrest this heinous person who ruined his new Bentley in a criminal hit and run.
The officer arrives very quickly. He goes up to the lawyer, who is still in his car yelling and screaming at someone on the phone. The officer says a horrified, "oh my god."
The lawyer hears him, drops his call, and says, "I know! The door is ripped clean off! The whole car is ruined! Even if they fix it, it will never be the same!"
Then the officer frowns at the lawyer and starts to shake his head.
The lawyer starts going on and on about how much money he just lost, how expensive the Bentley was, how tragic and how evil the driver of the other car had to be.
The cop finally interrupts, "you lawyers. You are all the same."
Suddenly, the lawyer's anger turns to the cop. What? How dare you! Can't you see that this beautiful machine is destroyed? You are a protector of the city! You should be out arresting this criminal, not insulting me sitting here! This reckless menace cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars! This was a brand new Bentley!
The cop interrupts again, "I get it. You've been talking about your car. It was expensive, you lost a lot of money. But in this whole time, you never realized that he also tore your whole left arm off."
The lawyer is stunned into silence. He looks down at where his arm should be. Horror and pain cross his face.
"MY ROLEX!!!"
