An investment counselor decided to go out on her own. She was shrewd and diligent, so business kept coming in, and pretty soon she realized that she needed an in-house counsel. The investment banker began to interview young wealth managers.
"As I'm sure you can understand," she started off with one of the first applicants, "in a business like this, our personal integrity must be beyond question." She leaned forward. "Mr. xyz, are you an honest employee ?"
"Honest?" replied the job prospect. "Let me tell you something about honest. Why, I'm so honest that my previous company lent me 150,000 , and I paid back every penny the minute I tried my very first case in my next job."
"Impressive. And what sort of case was that?" asked the investment counselor.
The wealth manager squirmed in his seat and admitted, "they had sued me for the money."
