A very successful lawyer parked his brand new Lexus in front of the office, ready to show it off to his colleagues. As he got out, a truck came along too close to the curb and completely tore off the driver's door. Fortunately, a policeman was close enough to see the accident and pulled up behind the Lexus, his lights flashing. But, before the policeman had a chance to ask any questions, the lawyer started screaming hysterically about how his Lexus, which he had just picked up the day before, was now completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter how the garage tried to make it new again. Finally the lawyer calmed down from his rant.
The policeman shook his head in disgust and disbelief. "I can't believe how materialistic you lawyers are," he said. "You are so focused on your possessions that you neglect the most important things in life."
"How can you say such a thing?" asked the lawyer.
The policeman replied, "Don't you even realize that one of your arms is missing? It got ripped off when the truck hit you!!!"
"OH, MY GOD!" screamed the lawyer. "MY ROLEX!"
