Lex Talionis

I had a tax question my accountant couldn’t answer, so I emailed a tax lawyer to ask if it was worth getting a consultation with him based on the particular intricacies of my situation. He emailed be back to say it wasn’t. Then he emailed me an invoice for the cost of his consultation email on my email querying if it was worth consulting him. 

Some people don’t believe in the devil; and yet we live in a world where both lawyers and chihuahuas exist. Curious.
