The lawyer said: “One thousand dollars.”
“One thousand? I didn’t pay even one tenth of that amount to get married.”
The lawyer said: “Look, before you got married you didn’t even have one thorn inside your foot. Now I see that there are at least twenty thorns inside each foot. It takes me a long time to take out one thorn. To take twenty thorns out of each of your feet will be a tremendous task. So my fee is naturally higher than your marriage fee.”From:Sri Chinmoy,Try, you too can laugh, Agni Press, 1973
