The madam opened the brothel door and saw a rather dignified, well- dressed, good-looking man in his late forties or early fifties.  

 

'May I help you sir?" she asked.  

 

'I want to see Valerie,' the man replied.  

 

'Sir, Valerie is one of our most expensive ladies.  

Perhaps you would prefer  

someone else', said the madam.  

 

'No, I must see Valerie,' he replied.  

 

Just then, Valerie appeared and announced to the man she  

charged $5000 a  

visit. Without hesitation, the man pulled out five  

thou sand dollars and gave it  

to Valerie , and they went upstairs. After an hour, the  

man calmly left.  

 

The next night, the man appeared again, once more  

demanding to see Valerie.  

Valerie explained that no one had ever come back two  

nights in a row as she  

was too expensive. But there were no discounts. The price  

was still $5000.  

 

Again, the man pulled out the money, gave it to Valerie,  

and they went  

upstairs. After an hour, he left.  

 

The following night the man was there yet again. Everyone  

was astounded that  

he had come for a third consecutive night, but he paid  

Valerie and they went  

upstairs.  

 

After their session, Valerie said to the man, 'No one  

has ever been with me  

three nights in a row. Where are you from?'.  

The man replied, ' Buffalo'.  

 

'Really', she said. 'I have family in Buffalo  

 

'I know.' the man said. 'Your sister died, and  

I am her attorney. She asked  

me to give you your $15,000 inheritance.'  

 

The moral of the story is that three things in life are  

certain.  

1. Death  

2. Taxes  

3. Being screwed by a lawyer
